An interesting app to see what things were worth then and now.
Wages comparison is a good one, as is the cost of a house, or whatever you want to convert from £ s d in the year of your choice to the current cost.
My first trip wage in 1964 was £14.0s.0d per month, now worth £255.00 Per month. So would still be carp wages, even today.
