Yesterday's Prices

[Mups]

Prices shoot up over the years,  but in some ways we have perhaps got used to it.
We have to accept it anyway because we either cough up - or go without.

I have just seen this almost unbelievable list of prices we paid back in 1966.
See if you remember any of these -


1. Average wage was £20.30s a week.    (Today £749)  - It didn't say what job this was!

2. Cinema tickets - 15p  -   (£9.50)

3. A pint of Beer - 10p  -  (Today £5.50)

4. Fish & Chips - 10p  (Today - £9.50)

5. Flight to Spain  (return charter) - £31

6. Men's haircut - 15p   - (Today £20.)

7. Packet of 20 Cigarettes - 20p  (Today - £13.)

8. Loaf of Bread - 5p -  (Today £1.60)

9. Pint of Milk - 4p  - (Today £1.)


Astonishing what we have come to expect now,  isn't it.
