Whilst we are talking about wages.
When I finished my apprenticeship in 1953, I went into the army to do my national service, and my wage went back to Twenty Eight Shillings per week. My last six months in the army I received Three Pounds six and six per week which was the regulars rate of pay, and they knocked out sixpence tax. Like my army number these things I have never forgotten.
