MANY can still enjoy it, now, too. You'd think the entire Western World was starving. Talk about skewing the facts....We often have a cooked Brunch / Breakfast. You're just being silly. Ok some people may struggle, to this extent, but not the majority of people. Not where I live anyway. I don't know anyone in this criteria, but we do work !
12 eggs £1.50 - boiled or scrambled . Bread 45p a loaf of wholemeal lasts all week Porridge 60p a bag . Milk 50p 1 liter ....todays prices . I would go potty at £7.00 a week for breakfasts in 2019
But how much was a wage back then ? £80? £120? A week. And the wife not working. It’s all relative. Many people couldn’t afford their first car until the early 1960’s.
They don't make sitcoms like this now..They just couldn't do it! classic seventies comedy of family life in the seventies if only we could go back......
For many people there was great suffering ,in the 70's UK. There were miners strikes, where the miners were beaten by the Police, and almost starved to death. There were gas and electricity cuts, again down to strikes . Many businesses failed. I was lucky to be raised by parents who both worked. We didn't go without good food and clothes etc. Our lives were very like the family, in this situation com. Many children couldn't say the same.
nothing worse than a bloody nagging wife he already has a mother does not need one in a wife . A husband who has toiled all week deserves a lie in on a Saturday morning and Sundays even. I am a female who can support and relate to males who have problems with women
@@gpo746 don't you think the women in the 70s deserved a lie in as well. In those day many women woke up at the same time as their husbands, made his breakfast, got the children up, clothed and fed them for school... I don't remember many who lay in bed!!😊
😮That's bloody misogynist attitude,it's mainly us women(even though we're the main breadwinners in the household)who are expected to be subservient to men.Being a housewife isn't exactly easy either😢
😮so women don't deserve that too??Define "toil"??Husband sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day 5 days a week when some of us women are running a property,caring for children and expected to have a.holes dinner on the table the moment he walks through the door??😢And catering to his every whim,like being raped??How do you like them apples??No idea do you ??😮
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
Simpler happy times of my childhood ❤
Same here
The Best times long gone sorry to say
Diana was such a stunning lady, and there was a time when I had a crush on her.
Sid James was my favourite actor especially out of the Carry On actors 👍👍✌️✌️
*No one* would get me up on a day I had off work. I don't have to work, but if I did no one would make me get up!
Bacon and eggs 🥚 And sausages tomatoes fried bread 🍞 is nowa luxury breakfast for a lot of people now in this world 🌎

Love the bit near the end when the radio says "and now the nine o'clock news" and Sid comes crashing through with the tray ah proper old comedy
David Hamilton was the a voice on the radio,still broadcasting on Boom Radio.
Mike and Sally😊
Once of. Favourite. Not forgotten
Thanks so much for posting this!
£7.00 a week for breakfast, i need to go back in time!
Ikea in Croydon , Surrey , England don't know if it is still the case was thirteen years ago can get a full breakfast for a pound
12 eggs £1.50 - boiled or scrambled . Bread 45p a loaf of wholemeal lasts all week Porridge 60p a bag . Milk 50p 1 liter ....todays prices . I would go potty at £7.00 a week for breakfasts in 2019
Why did people have a full English every day back then? So unhealthy!! 50 yrs later? It's muesli, toast with avocado, porridge
But how much was a wage back then ? £80? £120? A week. And the wife not working. It’s all relative. Many people couldn’t afford their first car until the early 1960’s.
My first wage as a junior clerk in 1974 was £14.00 a week
They don't make sitcoms like this now..They just couldn't do it! classic seventies comedy of family life in the seventies if only we could go back......
That would be nice
Love it
It wasn’t that great…you were just younger and less damaged😏

10 rashers of bacon for 20p.....those were the days.
The prices then those were the days
My dad brought home £25 and I was earning £5 19s 6d in 1970, my first wage at 16 yrs old.
what was the greatest day getting rid of those half pennies and bringing in the pound coin this year makes it thirty six years since the pound coin
Back then, 20 pence was a decent amount of money for bacon in the U.K., back in the 1970s

Wow! How refreshing . A woman that can actually support and relate to men...I thought I had married the only one left !
