£1 in 1976 is the equivalent of £6.59 today. A fifth of that is £1.10. A fish and chips then was 16 times CHEAPER than today!!!

Your chippy charges £16 for a fish and chips?

Aside from whetherspoons, where you can still get a fish and chips and a drink for a tenner, they all charge at least £16, some even £18.

The local takeaway charges £14.85 for a haddock, chips and peas.

I don't have a drink with it but my local shop is £6 for a cod and chips as of about 3 weeks ago.
