Ya I seem to remember our mortgage was about a fiver a month, think we paid something like £1,100 for the house,(hell my granddaughter paid about £115 grand for her house) I had a quite well paid job and so did the wife, but she soon had to finish work (because thats why I have a granddaughter now) think the same house has been sold quite resently for £96 grand, the good old days hey
