It now costs over £5 a gallon and because of the dual con of adopting litres and decimal coinage we've hardly even noticed! Mind you I can remember when a bag of chips cost under 3p ( a tanner if you remember the good old days) now they are over £1 20p and taste more like cardboard.
My old grandad used to tell me about beer costing tuppence a pint and I thought he'd gone gaga,looks like he hadn't but maybe I will.
