When I was a kid, I remember .....
1. If we had no veg for dinner my dad would go out to the garden and dig some.
2. You could get 3 45rpm records for £1. They were 6/8d each.
3. It was a penny return on the tram, to anywhere. (1d old money, which is 240 days of rides for a £1)
4. The streets were lit with gas lights.
