I'm in the very early stages of writing a book set in 1955 to present.  According to statistics average cost of a house was £1500.00 and a working wage was somewhere in the region of region of £9.00 per week.  What I need to find out are the finer points i.e. price of a pint of stout, or that of a cup of tea.  It too me the best part of an evening to get this far.  Typed in average costs UK and it still gives everythin in dollars as if America was central to the world.  How do I find the finer points to what I need?  I don't want to put a cup of tea at twopence ha'penny if that was the cost of a loaf of bread!
