Absolutely random photo of anything thread

That is very interesting...

Now,
Inflation since 1982 = x 4.52 (source ONS)
ie Price equivalent = £1.7 x 4.52 = £7.68 per gallon

Recent price of £1.70 per litre
at 4.55 litre per gallon,
That is £1.7*4.55 = £7.35 per gallon

ie petrol is now cheaper in real terms than in 1982

It's even cheaper. I've just looked up the average price of petrol in the UK and it's now £1.46 per litre. That's £6.64 per gallon.

All very well and good but it doesn't say much about the son.

Ok so a quick Google helps with that but for a historical plaque it's somewhat wanting.

I remember the queues when petrol hit £1 a gallon, along with some brilliant new swear words from my dad.

It's all about timing, if you see heavy rain clouds and the potential for thunder and lightning make sure you have some traditional cart hovels close at hand to shelter in. Saves getting soaked 😎

Something I didn't expect to be growing in my garden; that pineapple is just over an inch in length!

Random bits if junk are great. Today i found a pair of those metal things for removing the stereo from a 1980s Peuguot 205 GTi (my wife's).

About as random as you'll get. The room is set up to look a particular way but the TV remote is out of place - as is the location. The small bust of Churchill and the shape of the key holder should be a give away. Spoiler - click on the image.
