Thirty years ago I used to be able visit the store with $5 in my wallet and
come away with a bottle of whisky and a packet of cigarettes. You cant do
that these days, too many ****ing security cameras.

In 1949, I figured that if I ever earned a dollar per hour, I would be
a Rich man. When I turned 19 (1958) I worked as a labourer wheeling
concrete in a wheelbarrow for $1.25/hour.
