Battle of Trafalgar... Time to move on?

I think that most Brits of a certain age would define the economic crisis as continuing through the war to the end of rationing in 1954, two years after Her Majesty took the throne.

But the crisis/crises probably depended a lot on who you were and where you lived.  Britain is a small island and the locals moved to find work, or emigrated.

A British officer I once worked with remarked that in many ways the post-war period was worse than the war as the sense of purpose had ended but the rationing, shortages and misery seemed unending.
