I'm trying to remember what it cost the year I passed my test (1975), and it has defeated me! I like this nostalgic shot!

73p per gallon

Either you picked a number out of thin air, Nick or you fiendishly cheated by Googling it!

Are all of you trying to tell your Ages?? :)))))) I love this shot dear Nick. a good composition of the Red Pump Garage ! have a great week Nick... best of wishes and hugs, Sarah

Hi Sarah, yes inadvertently it has changed into an age trap, in the nicest possible way ~~~ Anyway I see that you managed to dodge it. So pleased that you love the shot and thanks for your good wishes ~ Enjoy your week too. Across the pond hugs ~ Nick

I googled it of course Andy

Maybe Sarah right :)
Lovely picture dear Nick!

Have a great new week!

Best greetings
Füsun

Hi dear Füsun, Yes I agree. Thanks for your kind comments and I wish you a safe week ~ Warm wishes ~ Nick

I can remember filling up my Hillman Imp in 1969 for about £5. Now I'm paying about £45 to fill up my very small road tax free Suzuki Alto. Of course I'm far too young to remember when petrol prices were 8 gallons to a pound, but I know it's always been cheap in the USA even now I think.

I remember the Hillman Imp but don't know the Suzuki Alto, I'll have to look it up. My Landrover needs a security guard to carry the money when it fills up. Luckily my company has a diesel tank that I can fill up at free of charge.
Are you feeling better today? I hope so

I'm feeling a tad better thank you, but still coughing and thirsty. I am trying to do some catch up in the garden which hasn't been dealt with for far too long. The Dahlias which had just started to sprout through the soil 2 weeks ago are now withering because of drought and heat. So thorough watering to the soil only this morning. I won't be able to have a bath for a week now because of the water meter reading. :-))))

Take it easy dear LGM and remember that it is not healthy to be out of the water for so long :~)

Herrlich nostalgisch!!

Haha and that was only a year ago! Nice one Nick.

Keep cool in these hot days to come. Herb

Hi Nick
