Remember the good old days? When it seemed like Heath, Wilson, Callaghan were always battling the Miner's Union? Or, saving the pound from IMF restrictions? So simple back then.
For me the good old days were when Mrs. Thatcher was handbagging the hell out of everyone.

I remember the "good old days" when those buggers made us drop pounds shillings and pence and go decimal. I believe it was Feb.1971. Until then we were paid in Guineas ie one pound and one shilling.
Before that date, you could buy a newspaper for a penny and a decent bar of chocolate for 3d.
As an aside you could not exit the country with more than 10 pounds in cash and it was recorded in your passport.
O, Lord above, send down some doves.
With beaks as sharp as razors.
To cut the throats, of them there blokes,
that sells bad beer to sailors.
