@uknostalgia00: Back then in Britain, your electricity ran on shillings fed into a meter under the stairs — and every few months the meter man came to empty it. Oliver crouched far too close, counting along and losing his place. The best part was the rebate: the meter charged a little over, so there was always silver to hand back. Money we'd already spent, coming home again. Some of it bought fish and chips for tea that night. #Nostalgia #British #BritainBackThen #CoinMeter
