Does anyone else feel it's a bit weird that we talk about how we defeated fascism in 1945? Cos we didn't, did we?

Yea it was definitely a thing! They had a place in the fifties and sixties I think where you could go and volunteer to have a cold. The Common Cold Research Establishment? I haven't read that book although I've heard of it, is it worth a read?
