In the late 1950s we used to get 3d a bottle, and another 1d for a jamjar.

Used to get into trouble with the  lemonade man ... he used to deliver the bottles down the street, and we would be nicking empties off his truck to take to the local shop to claim our 3d back on each ....

Most bottles in those days had a "returns" value ... it was recycling made sensible .....  and the green bunch think they invented the idea !!

  Oh, those naughty far off carefree days

I agree about the bottle deposits; it was the original re-cycling and it made sense, until the accountants of the soft drink companies believed it cost too much for collection and washing of those bottles.  Then plastics came along!

Used to get 2/6 for soda syphons, used to remove them from the back of the local shop and take then to the pubs off sales

  So much for the "progress" we have made since then, no boarded up shops, a factory that actually made things, different world
