I think it was only about 1d or 2d a bottle, but if you had a beer drinker in the house, it could mount up.
It was certainly an incentive to return them, and if you couldn't be bothered, there would always be some kids down the street who'd take them off your hands for a bit of pocket money!
, then I only had nine green bottles right up against the wall 
I won’t say what happened next but I am sure you can guess.....
