what was the last thing to be rationed in the uk
Rationing in the United Kingdom Petrol rationing was briefly reintroduced in late 1956 during the Suez Crisis but ended again on 14 May 1957.[47] Advertising of petrol on the recently introduced ITV was banned for a period.
Compulsory figures From 1973 to 1975, the weights of compulsory figures, short program, and free skating were 40%, 20%, and 40%, respectively. From 1976 to 1988, this changed to 30%, 20%, and 50%. In June 1988, the proportions were changed to 20%, 30%, and 50% for the 1988–89 and 1989–90 seasons.[5] In addition, ISU member nations voted 27–4 to eliminate compulsories entirely from international competition after July 1990.[5] Less practice ice being available in Europe meant that most European nations voted in favor of abolition.[2] The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand voted to retain figures.[5]
