I just found ours still complete as they were never used. I seem to remember during the Suez crisis ( when I was young ) if you were a learner driver you could drive without asomeone sitting beside you who had passed their test . Is this true ?
It is just the price of petrol now that restricts what we use our car for .

I've still got ration books for clothing----early 50's.

I think petrol coupons were handed out during the 1973 oil crisis, but never used.

We had petrol coupons during the three day week and so on. All community nurses had to get the petrol from designated petrol stations as I believe (memory hazy) did the emergency services..
