During a house renovation, Carl Skivington was clearing out his box room in his Burton-upon-Trent house when he found a 40-year-old letter behind a cupboard addressed "To the finder of this letter" which was signed by Deborah Stokes, aged 14 back in 1982.

 

The letter says that milk was just 20p a pint, bread was 30p a loaf, and beer was 60p per pint.

 

In the letter, Deborah also mentioned how the President of the then-Soviet Union, Leonid Brezhnev, had just died. After discovering the letter he posted it on Facebook and found Deborah, now Deborah Dishman and in her 50s. 

 

Deborah replied to his post saying she had written the letter all those years ago in the hope that it would eventually be discovered.
