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.

So based on that I would say southern house prices are about right.

Now it is about £300K, so a pint should cost about £5.75 now, or house prices are overpriced.
Based on the pint being about £3.10, the average house should cost about £160K.
So either beer has become amazingly cheap, or houses have become idiotically expensive.
