Oysters were much cheaper in Victorian times due to the vast quantities sold.

Yeah, and what did the Victorians have to pay for their tellys?

It must have been a lot, because none of them bought one.

Edwardia

They had pianos instead

Electrical goods. I bought a TV in the 70's which cost half a years wages and took five years to pay off. Six months ago I bought one, a million times better, and paid cash out of the overtime I had done that month.

But your 1970s telly lasted how long?

(Okay it might not have lasted very long at all actually, especially if it was made in Britain)

It was still in perfect working order when we up graded to a newer model.

You weren't around in the 70's, were you.

In those days British TV's were built to last a life time, and they usually did. Although once in a while you had to send for the TV Repairman to come and fix them.
