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.

London trams? They exist today, don't they? :-)

I too am far from old or frail but I remember sugar and sweets being
rationed.

Yes. I remember when they came off ration... Cadbury's 2oz. milk
chocolate bar for 6d.
