Well really. I'll have you know I only just remember pre-decimal
currency, punched cards, and petrol going over £1 a gallon.



I remember London trams, the farthing and petrol at 2/6d a gallon, but
I'm not yet old or frail.

I remember it at 1s 7d a gallon..


That implies the mid-1930s. Assuming you would be around 7 or so at the
time, that would put you now around 85?

No wonder you seem so grumpy! :-)
