    5d in the UK would have been equal to 2p now, you couldn't buy much with that in 1970.


    Maybe a box of matches, I think a mars bar was about 8d ( 8 old pennies) =5p (5 new pence).


    a packet of cigarettes then was about 20p.

    5 Park Drive cigarettes were sixpence, I remember that well, wish I'd never started.
