Inflation
Twelve-fifty for an hour
The forecourt placards thunder,
for working in a garage,
which kinda makes me wonder.
In Seventy-One I started
to try, my living eke,
for what was then a fortune
of seven pounds, a week.
It does make you stop and think. Apparently, in the sixties, the average house price in Sydney was about 4 or 5 times the median wage. Now it’s 25 times!!

I still say we should lop a few zeroes off the end periodically instead of adding more!
