Re: Anyone Else Remember Pt 2

Anybody remember fags called Dominos that came in a paper wrapper with 4 fags in it for 6d?

Yep. The local agent would also sell them for 2d each or you could buy a pack of two for 4d.

Scrumpy at 9d a pint in The Mitre, Llandaff was great value when I started drinking 'properly'. Ratted for about 3 bob.

I remember having 5 pints there at that price and having change from a 50p piece. Needed a nap in the grass on the way home. Brain's Dark was 15p a pint at the time.

In the early seventies it seemed that decent beer was going to disappear for ever. Disgusting slop such as Worthington E, Trophy, Watney's were taking over and it was a travesty. Carling and the like are still out there but thank goodness that some people with functioning taste buds resisted the trend of consuming such swill....

I recall my dad getting a pounds-worth of petrol - about 4 gallons.

I was quite late geeting my own car as I was in London - expensive to insure, nowhere to park, etc.
Eventually got one in 1985 after my second son eas born- petrol a whopping £1.65 - ish per gallon!
