David,
I agree about the prices, which were way out of my reach as well. I'm slightly behind you in that I didn't start work until '65, when my gross pay was the princely sum of £7.10s per week, less tax and N.I. It did rise fairly rapidly so I didn't die of starvation. The one thing I would query is the multplier. I reckon '64 to now is probably nearer 40 for some items, although it does depend on which ones. I was thinking of beer
