What £5 Could Buy You in 1975 Britain

In 1975, a five pound note meant something. The average working man brought home around £45 a week, so when your gran pressed a fiver into your hand at Christmas, you felt like the richest kid alive. Two brand new albums from the charts. A full tank of petrol with enough left for the coast and back. A proper meal out at Wimpy for two people. That £5 could do things in 1975 that you wouldn't believe today.
