How much, say, beer, bread or cheese would the 3d buy in 1969, compared
to the £1.50 fare today?

Beer reached 2/- a pint around 1969, in London at least. So you could
get 1/8 of a pint for 3d. £1.50 should get you a half now.

Waits for Northerners to die of shock at the price.


If you know where to go you can get yourself a pint for something like
£1.80. And it's not the establishment with faux-marble bar counters.

You can in Southampton as well, but not generally in Central London (bar
Weatherspoons).
