If you're old enough, takes you back to energy blackouts, off licenses at the back of pubs, three TV channels and Sunday bath night after an egg salad tea and songs of praise. Sorry, getting a tad nostalgic there after seeing the outage page for the last hour or so here.
I remember those days. Maybe it's on a 3 day week?
off licenses at the back of pubs
Which made more sense of the term "off license".
Mind you life generally made more sense back then. I'll be ****ed if I can figure things out these days.
I'm sure I can hear the squeeeeeeeee of the tape loading sometimes.

Mr Bacon's pop lorry round our way. 10p deposit on a bottle must have been 1/3rd of the total price back then.

Sorry, been to the pub, has there been a problem I’m not aware of? TBH,I rarely get anything like that, maybe it’s the two cans and a piece of damp string your local network provider uses that’s the issue.

The pop man!
Also recall the coal wagon coming round and filling the coal shed!
Sherbert dip with the liquorice stick... C&H training for later life...
