The second comment recounting a apparently total recall like memory of being a ten year old boy in 1977 is fascinating. Not least because of the detail about purchasing a white loaf and butter for two pounds British. That's today's money costs. A loaf of bread in 77 cost you thruppence or 4 new pennies if your regional banks had caught up with decimalization recoinage and everyone rounds up on these occasions see the Teuro when the standard 3DM loaf of bread suddenly cost you 3 Euro the next day.
