You'll be pleased to know that sildenafil is still the same price then.

Some of us remember interest rates at 15% with the related chaos.
The banks and building societies were ruthless in my experience.
The challenge of running a business and running a highly leveraged life still hurts. There was poverty in all areas of life.
A social life required home brew and home made wine. Those were not the days.....

Remember it well. Which is why I could only afford to buy a small flat, which 30 years later I still live in.
Mortgage is now paid, and so is the loan to pay off the shortfall in the endowment policy
, but of course we had it easy, according to some.Now that I have the income of a pension into which I paid 11% of my wage, I find that the energy companies want such a large slice of it that I need to keep working. Life's a bitch, and then you die; as the saying goes!

Pubs. I can 'afford' them, but being a tight wad (careful with one's pennies), I don't like paying £4 for a pint of way overtaxed mostly water, when My 4 quid could be better spent.

Don't worry! If the shoot hits the fan as they say, I'll send you some of my finest tweeds, shirts and head wear.🧐

£4 for a pint? You were lucky, lad!
I rarely go to pubs these days for a number of reasons, but on Wednesday night I made an exception on the occasion of Rangers playing in the Europa league final.
I was in a company of 6, and when it was my round I went to the bar and paid over £20 for the privilege. Not bad you say? But when I got back to our table it turns out I had forgotten my mate's son, who was drinking some kind of IPA.. So I went back to the bar for a pint of said IPA, confidently holding a fiver in my hand...... "£5.90 please" says the barman
. The night cost £60, which included a very ordinary steak pie with chips.So yes, pubs join the list of luxury items for special occasions only, when they used to be a daily occurrence back in my late teens and early 20's.

Well I'm finding cheese is getting serious. I have cut back on camembert along with crackers but filling up the wagon is now £160.
All journeys in it are now essential only so on a plus note the 25k miles done last year will hopefully come down a bit.

Probably showing my (lack of) age here, but a genuine question nonetheless; when was this?

I no longer buy Dura ace. Ultegra is good enough. 👍
