My Dad sadly passed away 6 weeks ago, and as
I was going through his things, I found part of a local
paper dated 6th August 1953.
2 things stood out. One was an advert for bus conductors
paying £6 6s per week. The other one was a woman convicted
of stealing an alarm clock from Boots worth £2. There was also
An advert for a woman's coat costing £6 2s.
So a weeks wages would just about buy you 1 coat, or
3 alarm clocks.
