Laverdaroo:

£1.82 at Tesvos this afternoon, I had a sense of humour failure! ??? :-X

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
In my younger days 4 gallons of Esso Golden was 19s 8p (that 4s 10p / gallon less than 25 pence / gallon or about 5p/litre) I could have a weekend camping in Snowdonia  for less than a fiver including drinks at the Pen-y-Gwryd.

Bryanj:
I can remember 7s6p a gallon when beer was 1s10p a pint

Sesman:
Ahem…..

We made us own fun in them days
Do you know when i were a lad you could get a Tram down into't town
Buy 3 new suits n an overcoat, 4 new pair of good boots
Goo n see George Formby at Palace Theatre ,
Get Blind Drunk,
Have some Steak n Chips, Bunch of bananas n 3 stone of monkey Nuts
And still have change out on a farthing..
We did lots of things in them days
They haven't got today
Rickets, Diptheria, h*****, and
By we did look well going to school with no backsides in us trousers n
All us little heads painted Purple cause we had Ringworm

They Dunt Know theyre Born Today!!!!

Seabeowner:
I remember 6s and 8d a gallon when I started. But according to figures inflation has gone up 17 times since then and average earnings 22 x. Using about 20 x that works out as £1.47 per litre. My car these days does at least 20% better fuel consumption compared to cars of 1970 so maybe like £1.76 p/l. But my bike still does the same (or maybe a bit worse with the ethanol)!!!
