I was watching The Good Life from 1975 and in one ep. Jerry Leadbetter's salary was mentioned, £18,000. Now I looked on some website that worked out the equivalent current salary, was about £134,000 in today's money, which seemed a bit much to me. Especially as when I first started working in 1979, my salary was £6292 so broadly equivalent to £45,000 - can't be right for an 18 year old.
Unless inflation was so rampant in the late seventies it was really worth like 20k, even that seems too much.
As the youngest, you were the TV remote
White dog poo
10p deposit on glass bottles of pop (these younguns and their recycling!)
Football boots only came in black
snooker on TV was fun.
Ice on the metal windows. We had an oil burner eventually, we lived too far out for Gas.
