LONDON (AFP) - Never mind the radiation: British backup organizers worried there will be a remarkable lack of tea in the aftermath of a nuclear strike, recently declassified documents revealed Monday. If the nation were in the future under attack with hydrogen and nuclear weapons, said based on a memo written between 1956 and 1954 the deficiency of the choice British drink could be "very serious". "The tea place would be quite severe with a lack of considerable delays in imports and 75 % of shares and with no system of rationing it'd be wrong to think about that even one ounce (28 grams) per head per week might be ensured," it said. "No acceptable answer has yet been found." Still another memo, published in April 1955, warned: "The introduction of thermo-nuclear guns... has presented us with a a lot more complicated and new group of food protection problems." The contingency planning files outlined numerous problems for debate including plans to make sure tea and the accessibility to bread, dairy, beef, oils and fats, and stockpiles of food and sugar. The memos were among numerous documents introduced by the National Archives. Source
