Oh, my wife cannot understand why I might want to keep last week's
edition of AP. But I have a cellar pretty well to myself and 3
years' worth still fits in there for the moment.
I do like looking at old prices - I could not afford them then!

I no longer keep them willy-nilly (they'd sink the house in its
foundations :-) but I was clearing the attic some while ago and came
across an AP from (I think) the early '60's. Those were the days when
a Praktica Nova sold for around 150 UKP *then*. Factoring inflation, I
suppose that would be the equivalent of (what?) say 3,000 UKP now?
Makes the stuff we buy now look dirt cheap!
