TTT - Lapun Tru! 
I remember when a "bottle of cordial" was 4 1/2 d with 3 d deposit back on the bottle! (Late 50's)
And one hour flying training in a Chippie was 4/10/- (early 60's) (can't find the pound symbol!)
And a new Holden cost 800 quid! (1950)
And I earned 8/10/- per week - $17 per week. (1961)
And only 30 years ago beer in PNG was $4.50 per carton!
And I started with Junior at TAL on $7,000 per annum! (1973)

You sound like a Young 'un, Cooda! I remember a bob's worth of chips - and that was heaps, all wrapped up in last week's newspaper.
