    Astounding to think that Funcken books at £2 per volume were regarded as expensive - though £2 was probably a week's wage for an agricultural labourer at the time.

    I can remember the 1970's - I hadn't realised it was quite that long ago.

    Great to see these old mags - thanks, Clive

    We had double-digit (10pc plus) during the Carter years 76-80 and my pay went up from 300 to 1000 a month in that time. Still stuck around there since, though.
