What was life like before and after? Was there a noticeable change? Was it more of a mental change? Anything else?

Technically an adult at the time, nothing noticeably changed at all, I guess folk in Dover would've noticed any change more. My uncle in London went across on wine runs more often... Hovercrafts were a lot cooler, if a lot less practical.
