1969 £8-1-6d a week so about £418 per annum.
Not good etiquette to quote yourself but just to add I could fill my Mini 850 for £1 per tank, petrol was about 4 shillings and 6d a gallon. Forget how you should write that now, 4s-6d ?I paid my Mother £2 per week board and the rest was mine to waste.
£12 a week paper round in about 2004/2005. Worked out at just over a quid an hour!
Then asda shop assistant while I was in college at £6.50 an hour.
Now in the third year of a four year apprenticeship on just over £14K. Should be on something in the region of the mid 20s when I come out of my time at 22.

Started this apprenticeship at 18 after 2 years in college, you could have applied from school. Seemed a better paid, more reliable way into the industry where most of my friends have gone to uni. Practical experience is invaluable plus an NVQ and BTEC. When my friends come out of uni I'll be on 19k so it's not too bad when you look at it that way.
19k is a good salary at your age/experience. The only place you'll hear otherwise is on PH.Gassing Station | Jobs & Employment Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
