that the one that puts you into reverse?

[ummmm]

My dad went through the windscreen of a car in the 70s. He was the passenger and obviously not wearing a seat belt and the driver was half cut...

[aelmpvw]

must be a sign on a golf course, surely?

[sunny-dave]

It is a sign of how attitudes have changed (for the better) though

[ummmm]

When I was young our pub sold mints and chewing gum!

[gness]

Gosh!....I don't recall that, Dave.....four pints was okay?......!

[NoMercy]

Holy cow. How times have changed!

I find that strange because the DD limit in England is the same as it was when introduced in 1967 and four pints was NEVER OK.

[ummmm]

If that's true Jack it wasn't well enforced or advertised. Growing up in a pub I often seen people getting into cars after a skin full.

I'll make it an 'alf then.

[Jackdaw33]

In the early days, especially in rural areas, the attitude of the police was rather more relaxed.

[Old_Geezer]

Relaxed as a newt ?

sunny-dave's link was issued by H.M.G. Health Commission 1972. If I remember rightly, most cars were still 4 gears and lots of the old 3 speed on the road. In 1972 I could have had 4 pints and flown a spitfire.

I thought that poster mean't change to lager for your fifth.
