Dora-full-size-350x421

   A very simplified explanation of the Defence of the Realm Act  1914 (DORA)

                             

A tuneful criticism of DORA circa  1920/30. Sung by Mr Flotsam and Mr Jetsam

                             

Parts of DORA stayed at least until 1998 when the Licencing Act was enacted allowing more open access to public houses.
