Price of petrol
Sir, — Having read the article in your edition of April 21 by Phyliss KerrNorth on the history of Hagley Park, I would respectfully suggest a correction. In the second-to-last paragraph of the article it is said that 18s 4d was the price of a case of Plume petrol (and that would be four gallons). A case of Plume, Big Tree, Shell, Texaco, or whatever brand, contained two four gallon tins, not one. This would make the price. 18s 4d, about right for those days. — Yours, etc., T. R. BULLOCK. April 23, 1979.
