It is sobering to think how it was not so long ago. I grew up in North London, and before 1968 the only thing you needed to own a shotgun with a barrel over 18 inches long, was proof you were over 17.
In North Birmingham we had to buy a 10 bob gun license from the Post Office. Was this an early example of the North / South divide?

I recall that there was an interregnum when absolutely no system was in force; the old ten bob licence had been dropped and the new regulations hadn't been codified or enforced. Lasted about 10 months from memory.
