How do young people cope?

[J R Hartley]

As I said in another thread when you talked about netflix.

Everyone used to get a daily newspaper. It wasn't a luxury, it was the norm. If you want a daily newspaper now, the Sun for example is a quid a pop. Even if you don't buy it on weekends, that's 20 quid a month and double what Netflix costs.

That's just one example of many to show how much more expensive life is today than in your day. We could do bread and milk, electricity, it's all going to be the same.

My Nan and Gransha used to smoke about 80 fags a day between them and they only had his wage coming in to the house. He didnt drink but a lot of working men his age were also down the pub/social club several times a week. Sunday mornings on the piss down the club, home for a roast dinner.

What would the cost of that be these days? More than a Netlfix subscription, an avocado and the odd take-away I know!!!
