The Way We Ran a House
Terry Lomax sells an illustrated PDF about running a British family household in the 1970s, updated with present-day prices and shops.
Field notes
The product is structured as 35 chapters in eight parts, with sections on the changing high street, household costs, weekly shopping, and disposal decisions. Its central comparison places 1975 obligations—rent, gas, electricity, rates, and a television licence—against later additions such as mobile-phone costs. The page also bundles separate PDFs, including a 1970s week of food priced through current shops and nine checks to complete before throwing something away.
