when I was a lad - it was odd how many bus conductresses looked really tasty on my way back from the boozer.

But going to work in the morning they were old grannies!
 
most of that is true. When I got my first old banger ( car - for those of you jumping to crude conclusions) I could put 4 gallons of petrol in and got small change from a quid. It was 4 shillings and 10 and a half pence per gallon. Approx 24p a GALLON..

I also remember taking a new girlfriend to a posh olde worlde pub - and paying half-a-crown for a pint. Bloody hell I thought. 2 shillings was more normal.
