I had to dig out my birth certificate a while ago
It had the price marked in the corner.
Two shillings and sixpence :-(

Mine has the 2/6 struck through at 75p written in.
What gets me is that it was 4 years after decimalisation.

Mine has £2.50 written on it.
I think you are only a year older than me. That's some crazy inflation. I don't understand why they were doing this four years after decimilisation.

I guessed at the 75p to be honest.
I just remembered that it was crossed out.

Even so, it was bloody expensive.
Think of the sweets you could have bought for £2.50.

I remember poking around my grans pantry
and coming across some pre-decimal marmite.

haha, that's really gross
When my grandmother died, I had to help clear out her flat.

She'd collected huge stacks of newspapers with half-finished crosswords.

And knicker elastic. About half a mile of the stuff. She used to cut it off from the top of her tights before she threw them away, because it "might come in useful some day".

I think we've all poked around in your grans pantry at one time or another.
