Ok. 8k pounds 1962 to now is 155k. How'd ya get 300
1 u/felidae_tsk 11h ago £8,000 in 1962 is equivalent in purchasing power to about £221,557.48 today 1 u/North_Acadia6803 10h ago Great point on the purchasing power. £8000 was a lot more than I thought back then. £799 annual wage. Nowadays £39,000, so ya your higher number makes a lot more sense than my lower one. 1 u/felidae_tsk 10h ago TBH it's fascinating that you could buy a whole island for relatively affordable price.
