How much was £5 worth in 1960?

I was in the RAF then and on the princely wage of about £3.00 per week. This equated to 48 pints of beer as, in the local pub I then drank in, the Black Swan in Wilmslow,Cheshire, a pint of bitter was 1shilling and 3 pence (1/3) i.e. 16 to the pound. Best bitter at 1/4 was luxury as you only got 15 to the pound. Effectively you could go out with ten bob (modern 50p), have 5 pints = 6/3, then go for fish and chips before wandering back to camp with change in your pocket!!! Your £5.00 would have been a fortune to National Servicemen = 80 pints per week. Sorry that's how I valued my wage in those days!!

In 1969, I could buy a pint for 1/8d. The same pint costs £2.40 today.

Say I earned £5 a week in 1969. I could buy 5 x 12 pints = 60.

Today, I would have to earn £144 a week (just leaving school) to drink myself silly.

How does 1969 compare to 1960? I will try and look this up. How much was a pint in 1960?

Probably about 1/1 d. = 18 pints for a £.

So in beer terms, £5 in 1960 in an average pub would be worth £216 today.

It was worth £5-0s-0d or 100 shillings or 20 crowns or 40 half crows or 50 florins or 200 tanners or 1200 old pennies or 2400 old half pennies or 4800 farthings and finally 400 threepenny bits. I nearly forgot them lol

5 pounds was worth 5 pounds in 1960.
A pound of feathers is a pound of feathers.

Considering inflation, and what it would be worth today, I don't know.

You could buy a small car for approx £100 in 1960
And a small car now costs approx £10,000
So £5 was worth £50

Well a Mars bar cost 6p and you could get 40 of those for one pound. so 200 mars bars £5.
Today you would get how many at the most 13 that is the difference oh yes and 20 cigarettes cost approx 18p


Not one of the crowd!
£5 was worth £5 in 1960!


pete b

Clarkie

the people who say £5 are technically right if somewhat annoyingly unhelpful. the value of money halves on average every 15 years. so £5 would have bought 8 packs of cigs instead on 1 today
