Going into London 30 years back I was on £350 a day. I wouldn't get much more than that now.

You were a lot more...... "pert" back then though, I expect

Maybe 26 years back. The work was harder and I could do a proper graft so yes more pert. Yet I healthier today than I was then.

Hot dog in Costco is still £1.50 with a coke and free refill. Same price as 1985.
