I remember selling petrol (4*) at 35.5 pence per GALLON!!! You could not get £2 worth in a Mini unless it was running on fumes.

Also, still on motoring memories, does anyone (except this old git) remember the two-stroke engined cars? They were all different, but fuelled the same way. (A pint of sae 30 in the tank followed by four gallons of 2*. Most common was the Saab, then Wartberg, then DKW, now part of Audi.

Anyone remember watching Champion the Wonder Horse on a Saturday morning in the very long hot summers, and if you were lucky enough to get some old pram wheels to make a go cart it was like christmas, Dutch arrows, and making rafts out out of scaffolding planks, just a few.

Ah, 2* petrol! Christ I'd forgotten about that until you mentioned it!

 

What about the little stickers you used to get from the Texaco garage? used to get something like one for every £5, collect 1000 of them & get a mug!

 

And I can remember my nan used to put a fiver petrol in, and it used to last about a fortnight!

The only "Best before date" had to pass two tests, what did it look like and what did it smell like, if it passed those it got eaten.

My Harrington was beige, not the crappy black ones and you can still get them from Orvis.

 

Collecting birds eggs

 

Wondering how the f**k the local Bobby always got to your house before you did

 

Doing the milk before school and collecting the money on Friday after school, when everyone just left it on the doorstep

 

Playing tig on the pylons - f*****g stupid I know, that's why I don't do it anymore, plus it's boring on your own

 

Bangers on mischief night

 

You could just go on and on couldn't you.
