£10 DWP XP

Party time

Just received my £10 christmas bonus.

Which gets me a Tesco Finest Fruit cake.

 

 "The £10 bonus was introduced in 1972"

"£10 in 1972 is equivalent in purchasing power to about £155.94 today"

Isn't it a BITCH when the free money given to you is not as much as you think it should be?

 

 

 

 

At least one person on here doesn't even seem to know what the 'free money'  landing in their bank account is for.

 

Poor boomers!

First I've heard of it, Ill have to make a claim backdated 

If you receive your state pension monthly then the £10 is paid into your bank separately. If you receive it weekly then it's added to that weeks payment so many people don't realise they have it.

£10?  Five Litres of Heck's single variety farmhouse cider ( Kingston Black for preference) or 5 l of vintage (dry is fave)  and some change toward some Keens unpasteurized  farmhouse cheddar.

Back in my School days the 'little shop' just outside the gates used to break down cigarette packets and sell 'a single and a match' for 3d.

Never quite sure what you'd get but they were normally Park Drive 'Blue' or Players No10. (Players No6 were more expensive)

 

I think a pack of 10 "No10" was around 2/- (10p)

 

A quick google suggest that by 1968 a pack of 20 "No10" was 3/2 (16p)

Just as well it goes straight into the bank. I wouldn't be bothering to cross the street to pick up £10.

 

The Memsahib and I will give ours to the grandchildren.
