It was shillings for the gas and lecky, wasn’t it ?

Tanners and bobs, I think. I'm talking late 60s/early 70s. Might be wrong. I do seem to remember my nan having to borrow a tanner off me to put in the meter to cook lunch as the gas had run out.Gramp was probably down the turf accountants at the time.
