7p in the 72/73 season
5np in the 70/71 season

I can remember the Corona pop wagon coming around and Hubbly Bubbly pop at speedway
Used to go around the local building sites in the evening with a mate collecting discarded Corona bottles and taking them back to the local shop,  3d back on each one, 5 bottles were worth 1/3d, which we used to buy 10 Players Number 6 cigarettes, Those were the days (Old Fart).

Single sheet was due to strikes and power cuts.

Not sure the returns would be that attractive to organised crime (which I suspect was also going on in the 70s).

Ahh, the decade when music became no longer all about the light show and the 20 minute guitar solo.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
