    About bloody time too.
    WOW. Last time I paid 62p was around 1997. I remember the lorry drivers went on strike when it hit 70p FFS.

    It's all relative though, the Can dollar is worth a lot less than the pound. What is the average wage in the UK ?

    When I first started driving it was 4s 11p per gallon and that's equivalent to about 6p per litre.

    I thought cars hadn’t been invented when you were a lad, Pat?

    Sorry.
    First car I had then when retuning from National Service in 1956 was a 1934 Ford 8 with spoke wheels and spare on the back boot. It was immaculate, as new even at that age. I paid £40 for it from a lad who worked for my Dad.

    Oddly enough at 4s 11p for a gallon fags were the same price for a 20 pack then so they have doubled in price compared with petrol.
