true back in the day the wages were real and had alot of purcasing power now its inflation wage looks a lot but cant buy much. One of my relative bought a big diesel generator for 800 pounds back in the day now its like 1200 on wards to buy.
my family back at that time, well my dad just got his probably first car here in england but in pakistan my family there did not have car except donkey so it was a luxury item back then.
