Ou7shined Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Speaking of 50p. Just the other day, I was regaling some incredulous younger band mates with boring tales about how when we were kids (early-mid 70's) me and my brother were given 50p on a Saturday morning and we'd head off into the city centre on our own... this in itself would be a no-no for 6 and 7 year olds these days. We'd meet up with some mates at the Saturday Cinema Club (special deal for kids*) where we'd spend a few riotous hours watching a handful of cartoons, some ancient black and white stuff like the 3 Stooges and a main feature (a Disney movie or something). Then en masse we'd all go next door to the swimming pool and spend a further few of hours in there, buy a sausage roll, a bag of crisps and a drink on our way out, then we'd catch the bus home stopping off at the corner shop for a bag of sweets (back then Black Jacks (with their very un-PC wrappers) were 1/4p each... I think you used to get 8 aniseed balls for a penny) and still have change for a box of matches so we could go and burn sh*t round the back of old Mr Hunter's garage. * incidentally my dad used to go to the same cinema on a Saturday morning when he was a kid too.... only the entry fee back then was an empty jam jar.
