well that's the thing--a lot of the younger folks don't know this as they weren't even born yet.

But you think you know it all, dontcha ya little buggers

@MarchHare-- I was being a bit flip ya know. When you hear the numbers I guess you (or I) automatically think in today's terms.

A couple of months ago I was reading about the postal workers who went on strike in the 70s. I don't remember what the wage was then, but I still couldn't believe how low it seemed, even in light of it being so long ago.
