o temps suspend ton vol

When I moved into Oxford in 1980, the cost of a bus journey from the nearest stop to the city centre was 18p. No, that's not a misprint. Eighteen pence.

Today that same journey costs £1.80. Ten times as much.

Watch this space!

And the average house cost £22,500.

Exactly so.

Do you remember what a pint of beer cost in those days?

Too young to know, but I'm let to believe around the 60p mark.
