And having to wear your 'Sunday Best'Remember when you didn’t know anything about money or politics other than when your pocket money was due or when they used your school as a polling station. Getting in from school and wolfing your food down so you could go out and play until you heard your mother screaming your name. Waking up at the crack of dawn on a Saturday and Sunday so you could go and play with your mates until it started to get dark and the obligatory Sunday night bath while being told off for losing your football / scuffing your shoes / ripping your trousers / getting filthy dirty and or possibly (coz the jury’s still out) throwing stones at the neighbours dog….happy days and none the worse for it apart from the odd scar.
I can remember when I first worked in a pub part time, and my dad came to visit me. He said he was not going to come back again, as a bottle of brown ale was 10p, because it was only 7p in his usual pub. 3p was a big difference in 1971.
If you dropped 1/2p you didn't bother to pick it up.I’d forgotten that there used to be 1/2p’s

Did this in the early 80's in Somerset/Avon, fromfarms. Can't remember how much but you could use your own container.I can remember paying 11d (almost 5p) for a pint of real scrumpy cider, in a pub in Devon in about 1960. It had bits floating in it.
It was kept in massive barrels behind the bar and was made by local farmers. It was quite strong.

Bit far from where I was at the time but the container looks familiar.
