Ah, yes...bring back the "good old days". I remember trying to fly under so-called "VFR" around the LFAs in choking smog after the farmers had been burning corn stubble for weeks, followed by thousands of coal fires being lit up.
British Rail, British Leyland, power workers and the dustmen; more often on strike than working.
Not to mention the added bonus of rickets, TB, polio.
