My workmate found an old metric imperial converter card in the recycling today - you pulled a card through a sleeve that had windows in it to convert the right quantity from feet to metres and so on.

On the back, it had a section for petrrol prices. It was possible to convert a price up to 50p a litre...

It is a very small book with a grey hard cover. It has miles and miles of lists and conversion tables. I'll need to find it obviously

We used to call that kind of tattoo a penny dabbity. (That was the ones you could buy on their own, without the bubblegum.)
