Saturday girl on the rag market, from 8 am to 5 pm, in 1969 or 70, ONE POUND!

In 1973 one pound would pay for 7 pints of cheap beer and a packet of crisps in the student bar. I used to take 2 pounds out of the bank to do my student shopping for the week and have a night out on Saturday. Help I'm turning into my mother

Hi you wealthy people. My first job was at George Binns Cambridge St. I was filing clerk. My pay was 32/6 per week. Dad took the 30shillings and he gave me 2/6 pence for tram fare. Never seemed to go without anything tho. but then we never expected anything either. that was in 1951 I think. Good old days not too sure about that one.
