Christopher Morresey
Hi miles ,that pay of yours would have been only 4 days as it blew up on the 19 and we had only been back 4 days after the Hollidays and I think we got back to work on the 11 of Feb

Ken Campbell
Christopher Morresey did we get paid each week or fortnight at strongman? At Rewanui we got paid by the fortnight about £22 to £24 on the rope road if I remember correctly

Peter Armstrong
Christopher Morresey Thats not bad money, that equates to $1,813.43c in todays money

Dean Gutberlet
What did one of those look like in July 1967, a few months later? Anyone have one of the first decimal payslips? I'm curious what a wage looked like in 1967 dollars.

Ken Campbell
Dean Gutberlet I think it went from £40 to $80 a week for a trucker,so double the money but in reality just the same.

Wayne Chapman
Better paid than an apprentice. Five pound. Pay back 10 shillings a week for tools. Great times.

Chip Robinson
As a shop assistant at Sam McAra’s, I was getting 5 pound 9 shillings and 7 pence

Helen Cain
Chip Robinson you’re still worth pittance !! Just joking !!

Rewa Raymond
Matchless Match
