Better get ready for a “ reckoning”

[Scoobos]

Ah, the 1970s when the standard rate of income tax was 33% with NI at 5%.

Everything was beige.

Literally everything.

Cars.

Suits* (I've still got a particularly hideous example in the wardrobe).

Wallpaper.

Oh, I can hardly wait.

Are flares and bellbottoms pencilled in to return?

They're a bit easier to get on & off than these slim jeans and trousers of today.

Though you have to be a bit careful when it's windy or you could take off.


*There's a fine selection in this lot:

I'll take simplified taxation and bellbottoms without any arguments! Loved flares, though they did seem to be making a comeback this year, another thing lost to the pandemic.

Oh, the taxation wasn't simplified, that was just the basic rate.

The top rate was 98%.
