Petrol coupons but first the Tick Test.
Just about every squadron and every section had a complete set of the very limited number of exam papers, correctly ticked.
Seitenstreifen nicht befahrbar.
I cannot be the only joker who, having passed first time [my boss: "nobody but nobody from Met. has ever failed"] ticked a lot of wrong boxes and added the crib to the communal pool.
It worked.
Then the annual BFG check on the car. Judging by the very dubious cars that passed, money must have changed hands.
Petrol coupons brought on strange greed and miserliness. Several times my car was running on fumes, a long way from home, having passed up several filling stations that were this year's "wrong ones" for accepting coupons.
There was a garage in/near Elmpt that provided new tyres in exchange for a fistful of coupons. Naughty but nice.
