What would the cost of that be these days? More than a Netlfix subscription, an avocado and the odd take-away I know!!!
Back in the day, beer and fags were relatively cheap. I remember paying around £2.50 for 20 Benny Hedgehogs and £1.30 a pint when I was 18. According to the BoE inflation calculator the fags would now cost £5 and the beer around £2.60.
