When I first started going to pubs, about 17 years ago, you could buy a pint for a quid £1. So you could have a good night on a tenner £10 and still have change for a kebab. Now you'd be lucky to get by on £20 just for the drinks.

Yet I don't see wages doubling over the same time.

How come electrical equipment like computers becomes cheaper over time, but drink and food gets more expensive?

I like watching 'Open all Hours' cuz you can see the old prices in the shop, love seeing items, like Mars Bars for 14p that would be 40p now.
