I disagree prices were higher, in the late 90s, you could get an hour job average price 50 pounds, ,but thats down to inflation more than anything, also pre-net days within a ten mile radius you had say 30 girls at the most, now a search says 350 plus, so smaller slices of the cake, they have to make their money with less punters, and private rental properties being sky-high, and benefits more generous.
Without being an old romantic, services were generally better as most were English, playing away, ex-swingers,not the organised EE gangs today, and they had to pay through the nose to advertise in papers and magazines,so were more committed.
Even if we get a BREXIT vote and the tool of a government actually stop uncontrolled economic immigration, I doubt we will see those days again.
