I had an 'after school' job at a petrol station (14 yrs old and legally filling cars with fuel :o ). A gallon was 5s 0d

Fixed that for you !!!   :)

Nah, decimalisation had happened about 7 yrs earlier.   :y

Then petrol was NOt 25p a gallon !!!

decimalisation was in 1971 ... in 1978 petrol was 76.5 a gallon !!   last time petrol was 5s (60d) (25p) was 1964 !!!

 :-[  Oops, yes you're right. Thinking back, the 25p was what I was getting an hour.  The petrol was 75p.
(I've slept a few times since then ! :D)
