Just as Licquorice was saying, from 35% to ~75% in the 1970s, surprisingly a further increase in the 1980s. I suspect that’s to do with poverty in the 70s though; the 1980s was the era of working class to middle class aspiration and increased affluence, do you think that’s fair?

I wonder how much was to do with the infamous waiting periods to have a line installed..

I remember opening a new business location in 1970 it took three months to get a line in !

Too true then, and look at me now. In the 1970s I was at school doing O and A levels, before I went to University in 1979. I was on an isolated farm in Staffordshire, in the middle of nowhere.
