Funny, I remember beer at 1/9d and when you consider my Ford Poplar was taking fuel at 3/6d a gallon I didn't drink too much. lol

In those days you could drink (no breathalyser of course) and dirve, but I think you could still get done if you was stopped for 'Drunk Driving'.

Maybe Ruth can confirm, meaning you might have heard of it Ruth, not that you are our age for example? lol

Well I think the drop in the cost of fuel is good news for all of us James. Add to that 0% interest on our savings, and yippeee!
