Fruit Juicer for eye problem

Well you got half of that right

Nothing to do with carrots. Nor did Colossus have anything to do with decoding Enigma codes.

Exactly what my aunt said after her op at about the same age - "Why didn't anyone tell me how dirty my house was?"

Cavity magnetrons. Everyone had magnetrons (of simpler form).

The funny thing, (thanks to RV Jones' misinformation on TV), is that so many Brits think the cavity magnetron was solely British. In fact, everyone had cavity magnetrons too, except the Germans. The Czechs probably invented them, the Russians developed them early on, the Japanese had the best design (they solved two problems early on, one of which eluded the British right through the war).

British nightfighters were never as effective as the Germans, because their relative phases of the war were a couple of years apart - by the time the technology was in place for really effective air interception at night, there just weren't as many German bombers attacking the West.

Oh yes. Potatoes, Cabbage and Carrots.

And that's pretty much all there was till the mid 50's.

And SPAM. Lots of SPAM.

I seem to remember some hippy died of an overdose of carrot juice in the

60's

Hardly a surprise, was it? Monster Cable must be laughing all the way to the bank, though, 'cos people still keep buying their junk.

Jimmy Rawnsley (scuse spelling I may be a little off) who was "Cats Eye" Cunningham's radar operator/navigator throughout most of the war specifically references that myth in his wartime biography of Wing Commander Cunningham, "Night Fighter".

He also jokes about the vitamin pills they were issued, apparently most aircrew saved them up for when they were going for a night out on the town ... but nevertheless failed to have any appreciable effect if you know what I mean. It's a bit like eating a plate of oysters before that "special time", I've never known more than the first 7 to work ;-)

What does he say about putting pyrex bowls on the hob?

Funny you should say that, Sainburys had them buy one get one free, use by Friday 22nd April 2011

Ah, well, Pyrex isn't what it used to be since it got taken over. It's now soda-lime glass, which is claimed to be as good, and in many cases may be adequate - but borosilicate glass it ain't.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember harry saying something like:

Bollocks, anyway. The carrots rubbish was generated on behalf of the British nightfighter pilots who were using a nifty on-board radar set the Jerries hadn't a clue about.
