If you tried to draw £2 out of the bank now you'd get stared at and eyebrows would be raised.
In my day, you could ........ oh no I'm not going there.

I ripped my stockings in work last week and had no money so had to pay for a pair with my card
I could feel the breeze from the raised eyebrows

In your day DP you could get a 3 course meal, bottle of wine, coffee, brandy taxi home and still have change :-)
