Petrol price

[Denis Sweeney]

I guess the difference back then was only a very small minority of the populous were rich enough to own a vehicle, unlike today where, with the exception of the main towns and cities, people are more or less dependant on their vehicles as their everyday means of transport but do not necessarily have the funds to meet the current fuel and energy bills.
This I quickly add is not meant in any way a political view just an observation!!
