Oh; the irony of using the roof of a *petrol station* for protection 😮

This is nonsense. My father used to keep important documents in the left drawer of our television cabinet. That explains the icon: it's a television with a different style of storage, not a vending machine.

Of course the 70s were better. In 1975 I was a young man with energy, not an old one with arthritis. My friends started celebrating their 18th birthdays: now I attend more funeral wakes than birthday parties.
LPs were £3.99 each, petrol 70p per gallon, beer 30p a pint, and cigarettes 40p a pack.
