The Ford Capri Laser Page

1974 also saw the MK2 Capri introduced, ABBA win Eurovision at Brighton, the three day week with power cuts and all the strikes, The Citroen CX, Fiat Mirafiori, Lamborghini Countach and it was the year I started at gramer scool.

Of course, thanks Paul. No wonder young people today seem to fed up and angry, they've missed out on the best things ever And similarly, no wonder a lot of young people are getting into retro, good on them.

Isn't it amazing how prices just keep rising and rising and rising. As well as the cost of living, wages, and so on. Why doesn't it all stay the same? In another 40 years will a pint of beer cost £100? Anyway, anyone fancy a Guinness, although it's one of the most expensive, at 16p I'll treat you

Oh go on then, twist my arm I'll get the taxi fare home (probably 50p then)

A month before that a pint of Light would have been 2 shillings! We went decimal on 15th Feb 1971.

That whole list is probably less than the price of a pint today

Thanks for all the responses. I never thought about decimalisation, that must have been one of the first 'new' price lists following that.

Feb 71....... I was 3 months old then, so missed out on Guinness at 16p a pint....bummer

And for a Brucie Bonus, which one featured Wayne Winston Norris

Good ones Andy And I spotted a couple of familiar faces in there who went on to do some popular TV acting.

You aren't wrong! Just did the maths, if you went and ordered one of everything off that list, it would set you back £3.65, basically the cost of a pint almost exactly!

Mixing that lot, I reckon it would be your last night ever

Who doesn't like a good old packet of crisps. Think I would eat all of these. Salt n' Shake, remember those? Used to love Chipsticks

Some good crisps there Paul
Tesco do salt and vinegar chipsticks in a multibag with cheese puffs and onion rings 59p for 12 bags

I'm there!

Don’t know how you find these Paul some great memories there and skips I use to get a packet of them when we went to a pub in Essex in the 70s with a ginger beer .

Ringos & Football crazy were my favourite out of those, still miss Bones crisps though, go nice with a right now

What about twiglets with their Marmite flavour, or Nicknaks in scampi flavour which was and still is one of my favorites.
