FabSwingers.com forum: I give you ten pence...

For the tuck shop.

If you wet a child again and you got 10p what would you buy from the sweet counter? Or were you a crisp type of guy like me?

A packet of Space invaders or if it was a hot day and I wanted a drink I'd buy a twist pop.

What would you buy?

I was a child pre decimaliation, so 10p was two shillings, two and six (half crown) was my whole weeks dinner money back then so two shillings would have bought most of the tuck shop....

Weird thing is, I can remember all that but have no memory of ever buying sweets as a child. Didn't help that we didn't have a sweet shop in the village. And even that was over a mile from home.

I did a paper round and would always buy a Milky Bar on Friday when I got my wages. But you'd never get one for 10p now, thus proving tht the old days were indeed better, whatever that stupid arse Facetiming to NZ in the tv ad says.
