It is most likely charging ok, if it stays on permantely even when the ignition is off it sounds like the rectification side is faulty, if not then the correct charge is not being output so as said it's a faulty Alternator or a loose belt.
Alternator on these is Lucas A1 IIRC.

It sounds like the rectification part, i.e. a loose or a diode gone bad!
You could go on like it for a while or it may fail tommorow, so it's best to get it sorted out as soon as you can, i.e. recon or new alternator.
It may be worth checking the charge output out of interest...
