Well said.
How long must a person work to be able to buy a thing is a more representable gauge of the 'real cost'
In 1961 when I first went to Spain on holiday full board in a hostal was £1 a night p.p. As a PC I was earning £11 a week.
A PC now get a basic wage of £450 a week. Thus if a hostal now cost the same in real terms it would be £40 a night full board.
It would seem that it was a lot cheaper in 1961
Who knows??
All I know is that there are often not enough seats for all these poor Filipinos to sit on and so they stand in the aisles,sit on the steps,kids standing on Dads shoulders...
It was like an over crowded Jeepney..
I wish they would put the prices up so I could watch the film in peace!!
