WHILE browsing the Internet I discovered that in the 1970s a pint of beer cost 20p, a loaf of bread 9p, and an OAP over 80 received an extra 25p on their pension.
In 2012 a pint of beer is £2.50 and a loaf of bread is £1.50. An OAP over 80 still only gets an extra 25p. What an insult, while bankers have made millions.
Both Labour and Conservatives have been in power over the past 40 years and have done nothing to rectify the embarrassment.
Shame on all of them.
