I remember the blue mobility cars at the footie. Always parked behind the goals great view and nice and dry when it was hissing down, in the days before "super stadiums"!

Sure you're not 74 Heather? They sound really old, I only remember them with foil tops although I do remember long narrow necks.

On the subject of bottles why did Lucozade bottles come with a plastic wrapper thing on?

Hey you never know when useless information, will come in, erm, useful. When I win "who wants to be a millionaire" on a question about the half pence peice, i'll be thinking ohh Steve, Steve who???? no just joking I'll go halfs on the prize money.
I do actually find it interesting looked up all the coins and notes, I can remember being updated.

Re: I ain't seen that in...yonks!

It will be the small ones I remember then, smaller than todays penny.

Just found some info on the ship ha'penny - they were produced between 1937-1967, so they were long before your time, they were about 1" diameter, and the picture of the ship is Sir Francis Drake's 'The Golden Hind'. So there's some more useless information for you.

Re: I ain't seen that in...yonks!

Yep I sure do, also remember bigger 5p ,10p and 50p coins, Think mum has one of the first £2 coins somewhere, also a limited addition £5 coin, I also remember the five and ten pound notes being bigger too.
