cactus Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Using consumer price indexes on inflation, £3 in 1937 would approximate to around £190.00 in today's money. Although as factors in the calculation of inflation vary widely across the years, this can only be a very rough calculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never did but when I was a lad I recall some of my mates used to stand outside a shareholders entrance asking if shareholders could take them in for nothing! That would keep the club's child protection officer busy today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was working mans theatre and the general workers never earn near the average . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOSTAGE IN PYONGYANG Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 My Grand-dad went to Wembley in 1935, he wanted to take my Grand-ma but couldn't afford her ticket. Least that's what he told her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
