Answer 6

You'd need about £12.75 today to buy what you could buy with £1 in 1968.

Answer 7

It depends what you want to spend it on, but generally 2008 prices are about 20 times 1968 prices.  Mind you, a new colour TV would have set you back about £300 but you could buy a Hillman Imp for £450. (That's a small car, not a demon.)
