Going back to the 'churchkey' discussion.

Long before the days of twist-off caps, churchkeys were one of life's necessities. Nowadays, they're not always necessary. Back in the 60's you would likely carry one on a key ring, and definitely in your car, handbag, whatever. You could buy them, but why bother, as you always got one free from the beer distributor!  :D

When I was home visiting in August, I found a churchkey at a yard sale for 10 cents. I don't think the woman I bought it from even vaguely understood my glee!  ;D ;D

I bought one at the ironmonger's today! I can't beat your 10-cent price, though. Mine was £1.45.
