Bring back the prefab!

A letter in today’s i newspaper regarding solving the housing crisis: “In the 1940s there was a drastic housing shortage. The answer then was to build thousands of “prefabs”. These were quite acceptable dwellings. Instead of more hand-wringing and waffle, why not launch a similar programme?”

    Maybe bring back rationing and "ITMA" at the same time.

    Would that help ease the housing crisis? ;-)

    My friend, Stephanie Hall, lived in a pre-fab. I loved going to tea with her and found it very exciting when her father came home from work and knocked on the wall to let us know he was outside!

    I lived for 12 years or so in a prefab, with 4 siblings, a mother and an occasional father. Happy times, I think, possibly, maybe….
