CW Goodheart's 40th Anniversary
2010 was our fortieth year of trading, as we look back at this anniversary lets have a look back at the year 1970
Life in 1970 appears to have been cheap. A loaf of bread cost 9p and the average weekly wage was around £32. Today, a loaf costs £1.25 and weekly wages are about £475.
Property prices have also risen. In 1970, homebuyers could expect to pay £4,975 for a house. Today, their children would not get much change from £140,000.
The Mini, which celebrated its 11th birthday in 1970, cost around £600. Its redesigned descendant now sells for £10,500.
A trip for two to the cinema cost less than 90p, compared with at least £9 today, while a bottle of plonk was about £1. Today it is £4.55.
And some things have even risen for the better. In 1970, the average life expectancy in Britain was 72. Today, it is 77 - giving us five more years of spending.
