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.Paul G wrote:1974 also saw the MK2 Capri introduced.

Re: Who Remembers?
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

Re: Who Remembers?
A month before that a pint of Light would have been 2 shillings! We went decimal on 15th Feb 1971.
Re: Who Remembers?
That whole list is probably less than the price of a pint today

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

Re: Who Remembers?
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!andyd wrote:That whole list is probably less than the price of a pint today

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