Message: [QUOTE="Tetters, post: 201829, member: 4680"] I did! A packet of fags was about 10d. My first job (60 hours a week) plus live in and food was £2.10/- In the late 60`s our new mini van was £400 and our 2 bedroom bungalow £4,000 And grannie was right - when it came to doing the shopping it was a great big rip off as everything was rounded up to fit in. Nothing went down a ha`penny did it. A pair of winkle pickers could be bought for 19/11 and a posh pair would set you back 39/11. I had another job in a dress shop and sold clothes in guineas .... '' thank you Madam, that will be three and a half guineas'' :rolleyes: that`s £3. 13/6 [/QUOTE]
