Inflation has been different in different countries thanks to currency movements. The British inflation rate since then puts it at more than £2250.

True, but that is value of £350 back then, so only true if it costed that in Britain back then. The currency movements also work the other way round, I am suspecting it costed much less than that in GBP back in the day. The yen to USD equivalence still puts it at $1800 today, so if that held to pound too, I would say about £1300 or so (which we know isn't how it all tuned out)

All I am saying is, it doesn't look as bad as this thread seems to say
