Whilst many things used to be free, in 1979 the basic rate of tax was cut from 33% to 30% - Today it is 20%... food for thought?

And a tv cost about the same as it did then. I paid £80 for a 14" b&w portable in 1979
 Directory enquiries. Now 118118 charge about £2.50, although with i phones I cant see them being around for much longer |
