Population now some 8 billion.
Do recall most of those facts, but there are some missing.

Such as I got totally stoned out of my mind in Del Monico had to be carried back to the ship.
Cliff Richards went on a Summer Holiday and Smiths crisps still had the little blue paper with salt in it.

#7 The silver Three Penny Bit was called a “Threpny Joey”. On my way to school around 1943 I would buy a little Bread Twist at the Bakery Shop for a Farthing. On a day flour was available that is.
