I'll start (and thanks to Terry for the idea).

I clearly remember that in the Summer of 1967 Cornish pasties
were 6d each from the pie shop on Victoria Road Douglas IOM.

Saturday afternoon in the Guild Cinema - 3d, to watch Flash Gordon (the first man with a mobile phone), Roy Rogers, The Clutching Hand & Lassie. 3d ???? Tell that to Warner Bros.

Bad behavior was swiftly dealt with. Once the offending area was located - the WHOLE row was immediately ejected (including the innocents). Happy days [Tongue]

Potato Puffs (the ancestor of Hula Hoops) were a thrupenny bit when I started infant school in 1963.
The bus fare from Manchester Oxford Road to Rusholme was 6D in 1970.
The Tooth Fairy used to leave 6D - it's a quid minimum nowadays - she'd have got every tooth from the head of two five year olds for that back in the 60's!
