Household Bills! Then and now.

Bills were very different back in the 50s and 60s. There was the mortgage or rent, of course. Phone bill, electricity bill, gas bill... But it was far easier to work out your money back then because there wasn't the added burden of a mobile phone bill, broadband, TV subscriptions and goodness know what else. In this episode, I take a look at household bills and how things have changed.

We know what the 50s and 60s were like. But what about half a million or a million years ago? In this episode, I take a look back a little further than usual.
