My grandfather said he earned 47¢ an hour in 1945 after he came home from the war. He told me this was good pay. He also said he paid $9k for his house and $800 for a new car.

It wasn't it was equivalent to £323.55 😂 Which is really good since bread cost only 1 or 2 shillings and the most expensive items would have been 1 or 2 quid!
Something that’s crazy is that Finn Cole (Michael) played basically the same part, but transplanted to California in the 2010s, in the show “Animal Kingdom.” He plays the younger nephew who is in high school when he is reunited with his crime family uncles and grandmother, and his trajectory in both series is very similar. You would never know that Cole is British if you only saw him in “Animal Kingdom.”
One of the funniest things with my best mate in London, growing up was when I had some sandwiches and saw to my horror that they were Fish Paste.My Mate asked for a sandwich and when I said "No" he snatched one and bit into the fish paste and recoiled in horror. 20 years later and he still reminded me of that time:)
@03:48 A "quid" is another term for the British pound. Looking at the charts 1 pound sterling would exchange for about 5$ USD back in 1900. Using another inflation calculator for USD from 1913 to 2024, 25$ USD back then would be around $800 USD today; giver or take a lot of room for error.
In the uk there were all sorts of sandwich spreads mostly fish or shellfish spreads ie. fish paste, crab paste. They all more or less the same, I don't recommend.

21:50 - as much as I love Polly her reaction here just shows how much the local gangsters don't care about their underlings..."is that it? Can I go now?" Harold Hancox was just a vulnerable young kid who probably got involved for the money...just shows how dangerous it can be! The one time you get involved could be the last thing you do! Rather heartless of Polly I think... Arthur did the same this episode...however at least he acknowledged that paying the mother a weekly allowance wouldn't ever replace what he took... Arthur, I think, is the one Shelby with the biggest heart out of all of them! I just hope Paul Anderson is ok and will be fit for the upcoming film! It was bad enough losing Polly! We can't lose Arthur too! ❤❤❤

'Breaking Bad', 'Stranger Things', 'Peaky Blinders', Fleabag' & 'The Bear', which is about to begin Season 3. That is a lot to take in. My favorite reaction videos of all the stuff you have done though is 'Succession.' That is the one that first brought me into the channel.
3:49 Okay, I'm a nerd so I just did a short search for an inflation calculator. Okay, I'm pretty sure the transfer rates for the British Pound and US dollar were very much different back then and throughout the years, so I had to use 2024 transfer rates. Five quid inflates to £187.53. With that being said, with 2024 transfer rates, the Peaky Blinders were offering the equivalent of (in today's money) around $240 to that guy to be a stand-up... Imagine dying for a gig that only pays $240...
