Ah ok, that makes sense now. When you wrote "in the same country", I thought you meant in Canada, since that's where Cohen and the grant in question were from.

You meant the same country where Cohen stayed for part of the grant, before he went to Greece. In any case, I sympathize with your complaints about the coverage, since $3000 CAD wasn't a bad deal at all for a single person in 1960, particularly for doing what he loved. Certainly not "scraping by" or having to make sacrifices like your father would have been doing in 1970, with a family to feed. Glad he secured better paying work. I didn't realize UK only got minimum wage in 1999, wow. It's surprising to me that the US had minimum wage for decades when the UK did not.
