1970s prices

The 1970s in the UK were marked by a mix of economic growth and inflation. Here are some key price points from that decade, reflecting the economic conditions of the time, with inflation being a significant factor in the cost of living. The figures are not absolutes, but averaged over those from a number of different sources. The given price of petrol is based on £1.22 per lire. Today’s price is £1.55/litre, £7.05/gallon.
Despite the rising prices, there was a slight improvement in living standards compared to the 1960s.

I’ve always preferred a buffet to a la carte – I’d far rather nibble through a bunch of different taste sensations than works my way through a single dish. Same when it comes to stories. A Sword-wielding Archer shares the movie theatre in my head with SAS Guys, Geeky Engineers and even a Hot Angel. But every single female in there is whip-smart, fearless and more than able to hold her own in a man’s world. Blimey, it gets busy. You can guarantee they're surrounded by a supporting cast who never let them take themselves seriously, so there’s always adventure, fun and romance, whatever they get up to. Please ensure you have a snack ready or the mouth-watering food will have you diving for the biscuit tin.
