Almost nothing. Most on here are too old/frail to do any diy nowadays,
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.
Don't suppose you actually bought any at that price though. It was about
4/8d when I started riding motorcycles.
I remember trams and the farthing too; you didn't mention the free dried
milk and concentrated orange juice for babies. I don't quite remember
food rationing though.
