i remember the fireman strike and how bad that was, i was only ten in 1977!! how the good times were, i remember going to the shop with 10p and feeling so rich and my first paper round delivered the free local paper on a thursday and i got 84p a week for that and for the same paper now about £50 a month!!!!
My first job was a YTS - remember those in the 80's and i earned £26 per week and had to pay my mum her family allowance that she lost and my bus fare and clothes and drink etc etc.....i cant even fill my car up for that now!
I will say that petrol and diesel are the most ridiculous prices and they should come down, good on them for striking!
