   According to an article published in Daily Mail UK, “The tracks of our years... How the lives of athletes have changed since the Games were last here in 1948”, The 1948 London Olympics were called The Austerity Games. Britain was suffering from the effects of the Second World War; food, clothing and fuel were still rationed. The Games' organizers spent [pounds sterling]761,688  that worth about pounds sterling 77million today.
   
   So if we calculate it….
   
   761,688 pounds sterling in 1948 = 77,000,000 pound sterling in 2011 which means 1 pound in 1948 worth about 101.0913 now and so 8 pounds then are 808.7301 pound now!
