half pint bottles of pale and brown ale were 6p in the pub, cant remember if that was sixpence or 6p. Wages were £6.50 for 47 hour week then after a couple of months had a 1p an hour rise thought it was fantastic, took two years to save up for a radio to fit in my car, the car was passed down from older brothers.

The phone was attached to the wall in the kitchen.. but the long cord meant you could have a semi private conversation in the dining room.
