I do just about remember it, with my parents, but it was a bit more than £10, I think! £50 maybe? My parents joked that they wished they had enough money to worry about it! iI those days £50 was an average bloke's wages for three weeks or so!
My first ever pay packet for a full week's work was just under £10. ;)
Somewhere I still have the £10 passport, I must look it up.
My first teaching month's salary was £39! - September 1965. :)

Bearing in mind that was only about £10 a week then my first week's pay, in 1972 at £10 wasn't much better/worse. As a factory hand. The fact the pay hadn't improved much just shows that inflation wasn't such a problem then.
 
About that time the teachers had just had a massive pay rise - hard fought for and backdated for many months but I just can't remember exactly when. With ours we booked on the 22hrs ferry from Harwich to Hamburg and then toured northern Germany, both east and west for four weeks!

I am glad you managed to benefit from it. You as well as me know that that never really happened again. I nearly left teaching in about 1983/4 due to the rubbish pay.
 
Morning all, feeling carp t'day as the Cov2 booster on Satdi was a Pfizer one and I feel beaten ...
Interestingly my first two were Pfizer ones and I had no effects whatsoever, the same can't be said for the booster one which was Moderna. I feel for you and hope you recover very soon. I will NOT be having any further boosters if they offer me Moderna.
Look after yourself.
