So you do not remember the white bodied yellow headed Esso Men key rings either with the gold chain.

 As a teenager I worked Sundays on an Esso Forecourt long before they had self service.
4 Gallons of Esso Extra cost 19s 8 pence back then many customers would tell me to keep the change back then yep change out of a Pund note for four galls of 5 Star!!
