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.

if your wages havent doubled in 17 years mate your in the wrong trade. Someone once told me my wages should double every 7 yrs for the first 14 working years and it was true for me.
Computers get cheaper cos they are cheaper to produce, need less people. Bit hard to make a luttuce grow faster and make it walk to the supermarket on its own!!
