Had visitors tonight and we ended up talking prices in days or yore
These from 1966 / 67 /68
gallon of 2 star ( 4.54 litres near as dammit ) 4/10d occasional special offer 4/6d
20 No 6 fags 2/10d
Wimpy and chips 1/6d
coke 6d
pictures 2s
bus up town 4d
bus home 4d
So a night out for me and girl friend about 9/6d or 47.5 pence
I also remember saying that petrol prices were getting outrageous when the price rose from 50p to 74p a gallon in less than a year (1973/74 I think ) and predicting there would be a tie in my life that petrol could well go up to £2 a gallon and there would be riots
