Inflation rising to 22.9% by 1979.
Interest rates rising to 15.9%.
Three day weeks.
Wildcat strikes
40% pay demands
Devaluation of the pound.
Industry uncompetitive and dying on its feet (later blamed on Maggie) with up to 100 days of wildcat strikes per year for some of our best manufacturers.

Ah!... the good old days of labour government.
