5p could get you crisps and a chocy bar in the tuck shop at school in those days
Never been into comics but did buy Shoot magazine which was an extortionate 8p in '74

Now you'd be lucky to get anything below £2 for that.
The concept of 5p once being worth a lot is so alien to me. Then again, 50p was a lot back when I was a kid, now it buys sod-all.

Ha 50p still is to me
I write to the Daily Fail if a cup of tea costs me more than a quid ;)

Admittedly, I did have a shit-fit when Mars bars went from 50p to 60p.
And I wouldn't be surprised if the Heil blamed such a rise on... well, anything.
