Worked in a pub when I was 18. Price of a pint 1/10d. About 9p.

My cheapest pint was in 1968 in rural Dorset on a Geography field trip. 1s 6d ie 7.5p. In my home in Yorkshire it has been 1s 9d so was pleasantly surprised.
I remember those days. Double Diamond (well, just an example, OK?) was about 2/- or 2/6 and considered a bit pricey. That would be about 1967 or so.
Close ‘68. Guiness iirc was 2/6.
I was today years old when I discovered that it is ‘Stavanger’ not ‘Stravanger’.
No wonder I couldn’t find it on the weather app.
I apologised via the mechanism of purchasing some very expensive beer.

Can’t afford the beer anymore! Obscene prices!

This is what the sound of silence looks like.
No music or radio on. No human generated sound and at this time of a hot day, no sound from the local fauna. Bliss.

Over the last two weeks, a regular sight after dark has been fields across the horizon with ‘mini suns’ in them as the farmers battled to get the harvest in late into the day, dust in the air and the lanes busy with combines and tractor/trailers.
As the harvest is almost in, despite the poor weather this August, the gentle hills of South Oxfordshire look like somewhere far away from England’s green and pleasant lands. In the weeks to come the ploughs will turn this all dark brown and with the chalk soil will come what looks like a dusting of icing sugar when viewed from a distance.

The view from Taverna Dialeskari (Octopus was amazing!) in Marmara during our stay in Sfakia, Crete. We rented the boat on the right. Brilliant day!
