Tells you how much todays money is worth against years gone by.... you can work out how much the initial cost price of your car when it was new compared to how much you'd have to pay for it today

Very good.

 

When I started drinking in 1974 a pint was 16p (in a classy place in town!)

 

In 2006, £0.16 from 1974 is worth

 

£1.15 using the retail price index.

 

So all these ‘experts’ who say drink has never been as cheap ‘relatively speaking’ are talking bullocks?

 

Can't quite remember the price of petrol - might have been 35p or 40p a gallon; so that's 55p or 63p a litre now.
