Hi Azzabuv
Ah, yes..inflation has a lot to answer for .. when I was getting married at the tender age of 21 in the 60's I went into Brain Elders to borrow £1,350 to buy a house on Elmsfield Avenue. They asked me how much I earned and I said £10.2.6d a week. But the repayments will be over £10 a month they said. My wife to be also earns £10 a week, I said. That's no good, they said, she might get pregnant! But when they found out that I worked at the MPNI (the DSS of those days) they relented and lent me the money.
