Interesting Fact - House Prices

According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics, house prices in the UK have risen 47 thousand percent since the Queen was born.

(The average house price has risen from just over £600 when she was born in 1926 to £291,000 today.

To put that into perspective,  a pint of milk cost the equivalent of 1.3p in 1926 and is only 42p today, a rise of 3,131%. However, if the price of milk had risen in line with property prices it would cost £612.57 a pint.

47,000% ! If only my income had increased that much.)
