The price of 42p was from 1972 when wages were much lower,a waitress then would be lucky to get £20 a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 I have a Wimpey breakfast in South Africa every year in the drive up from Joburg to the hunting grounds. Unfortunately they don't do that relish that they used to have here in UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
