You still get guys in trucks driving around looking for scrap, so a similar thing. But now you leave it outside your house, rather than listening out for the call...

Cocaine at ?60 a gram (circa 1975, when I had my first line). Up to 90 per-cent pure back then if you could afford it. No wonder they used to call it the champagne drug.

Amphetamine sulphate for the rest of us - a tenner a gram - if you were a teenage degenerate like I was and earning around 30 quid a week.
