I know I answered your post already, but I was thinking of beer prices at that time. However, I must correct you on the timing of the British Steel strike it was the first 3 months of 1980, not 1981 as you stated.

 

i was talking to one of the strikers he said 1981 just going on what he said I couldn't remember the year and he said 54p in the grouse at stocksbridge.

I know the dates because the strike affected me as I was a contractor who did work at several BSC plants including Stocksbridge . Due to the strike I had to find other outlets for my skills. The price of beer I quoted was a ballpark guess on my part, as I knew it was around the 50p mark in those days, maybe a little less at clubs and legions.

Who was your maths teacher at Burnie? 16p was 3/2 and 15p was three bob.

 

Got me there Mike but 'One and a Tanner' was the price of a pint in the Toll Gate then and my maths teacher at 'Burney' was Eric Smith.

A pint in the Turf Tavern in Handsworth was 51.5p - I remember because I had a huge collection of half penny coins as a result!
