Money seemed to buy so much when I was younger...for example I could get the Bus (return fare), go swimming and still have change to buy something from the Joke Shop and some sweets
What did people buy with their pocket money as kids?
Ooh a new vid!

I think when i was 13 i got five pound a week and generally use to spend it on ragworm and sinkers!! After that i got a weekend job and the pocket money dried up!! Five pound just wasn't enough to cover my cider at the weekend aswelll!!!

I'd often spend my joke shop money on Bovril from the machine at Hetton Baths - The nearest proper joke shop was next to the sunderland empire - to far to go for black face soap that never worked and itching powder that should have been banned by the geneva convention.
The joke shop blew up I believe (Honest) a fitting end - I wasn't there but I bet the roof went straight up and then the walls folded out like petals on a big brick flower thing.
Apologies to anyone injured in said blast.

Went to a friends 18th when I was a kid with just a Fiver (borrowed from Mother)
That night night I:
Got trollied
Snogged a girl I'd always fancied
Scrapped with a lad who was chatting up another girl I'd always fancied
Got more trollied
ended up giving the Fiver back to my Mum having not actually spent it
My secret?

the sympathy drinks flowed all night long LOL
Ooh a new vid!

You only got a snog though! - waste of a good fight and you could have kept the fiver or spent it on even more drink or stuff. Rubbish night out you suck
I always used my pocket money, milk round money and quite often starved and used my dinner money to pay for football matches. Don't think I'd be so keen these days
