Jaxom I don't know where the BBC get their figures from for the weekly wage but they are miles out. I remember food shortages and power cuts but the food shortages carried on into the 80's. (If my memory serves me right.) I can remember one year when potatoes were so expensive that my Mother couldn't afford to buy them and she made little round pancake type things to go on the dinner plate to replace the potatoes. I don't know what year it was end of the 70's early 80's I guess.
