Re: Wow! Now That Seems A Good Wage.

My first wage in 1962 was two pounds and fifteen shillings.
That would be £56.99 today.
I tipped all my money up to my mum and she gave me ten bob back.
This was on a Saturday...by Tuesday she was asking how much I had left....sometimes it was all of it...and she would 'borrow' it back.
