£352 a week is £18,303 a year, about three times the average salary in 1980
That last stat is horrendous and explains why so many young people can’t get on the housing ladder
Yep. Gone from 3x average salary to 10x
Yet some would have you believe that the kids today just need to work a little harder and not waste money on the odd Costa or a new phone.
I was thinking similar. My first wage in 82 was £38 per week, only 16 years old but three years later. So average wage in 1980, £75/85/100 per week? Don’t suppose there are too many on an equivalent £30k or more per week these days!
You were raking it in.
Who was that with?
I raise you £23.50 in my previous role on a YTS scheme, and I gave my mother £10, cannot remember the bus fare from Mile Oak to Lucas Electrical at the top of Sackville Road though

I'm not surprised, as everything was so expensive.
does that prove they`re not worth bothering with then ?
