    Yup, I remember the old Lucozade bottles. As for chemistry sets, I had 2 of them - Dad worked in a lab himself so was able to provide free refills for most of the stuff in it. :)

    When the price of a gallon of petrol exceeded £1, and my step dad was shocked and disgusted

    I remember at a time when petrol was about 37 pence per gallon seeing a small sign on a petrol pump which read
    "not to be used if price exceeds £1.50 per gallon"

    I recall thanking that petrol would never be that dear........ :oops:
