I’m a massive fan of thruppenny bits to be fair

I only go back to 1 pound notes & half pennies. I remember mars bars were 18p & petrol was about 65p per liter. Ooo & knickerbocker glories looked so big lol

I remember way back when we worked on red and black in a t&e, wired in a ring main circuit and everyone had a card of fuse wire in their pockets.

And insulation testers were wind up

I don't really trust any non contact voltage testers but maybe it's just me

I wouldn’t use it for safe isolation, handy as a quick indicator for preliminary fault finding/cable tracing though...

my first ever purchase of petrol was 5/- a gallon.that's gallon, not foreign liters. 20 Embassy were 1/10p. a pint of bitter at the local was 1/9p. then again my wages were £6/15/- a week.

Yeh Pete... it was even used in college. “Hold them and I’ll wind the handle slowly, then speed up... see how long you can hold it.”

I got up to pins and needles in the elbows before the dropped out my fingers.

The “bad” kids were at the end of the line to try.... they got full speed straight away.
