    I'll make you all feel old, cheapest I can remember was about 60p per litre and I wasn't old enough to need it then.

    Pah, I can remember when is was sold in gallons for £sd. lol
    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

    When I got my first bike it was 7 / 6d per Gallon. That equates to approx. 9 p per litre. Plus another 1p for a couple of shots of 2T oil.
    I only have one vice…I lie.

    I actually had a teacher in the early '90's who forced us to all learn imperial measures because "it's coming back soon"....... hope they etched that on his headstone.

    I’m young (ish) enough to use metric but having worked a lot of my life on building sites with my dad who downright refused to use metric I was forced to use imperial so I use both.
