So true Derek, I can remember the petrol rationing & pushing your car along the queue to the petrol pumps because you had run out of petrol, then being told 2 gallon maximum mate
I've still got my petrol ration book they issued to everyone back then, They were never used as far as I know.
Here's my petrol ration book with my early 70's Class 1 licence & my car licence.
