Interesting
In March 1965 the single persons state pension was £4 a week
My mother repeatedly referred to that year, in which my father earned five pounds a week as a GPO Engineer and ten bob of that went straight away on sacks of coal …
Today, the single persons state pension is £156 a week
It is illegal to pay less than £356 a week to anyone 21 and over doing a 40 hour week as he did back then.
I think that speaks volumes about the states attitude to the old.
