If people got a couple of quid back for expended bulbs then that

that. :-(

As kids we used to supplement our pocket money by returning 'deposit'
bottles. Very effective - we would scour the neighbourhood to
ensure no bottle escaped. Don't know why they don't do it now.


I can vaguely remember getting 3d for each empty Corona bottle. Was
that right?


Thats what I remember. You could buy quite a few sweets for 3d.
