I worry for the women he impregnates.

So do they.

in the 70’s they used to give them away free at the cricket when the Sunday league first started

Yes ! I'd forgotten that. JPS black as I remember. Jesus can you imagine anything like that now



Different world indeed.

I got done £16 for Marlboro Gold/Lights last time I caved and bought some a few weeks ago.

That was at a Shell garage at a services though.

When I first started smoking, so 2009ish I think 20 were about a fiver. I imagine back in the 70’s you could swap them for bottle caps or coupons from Match or something.

I remember everyone saying they'd give up when it went to a quid for twenty. Of course nobody did, we just rolled our own instead.

When i was at school Woodbines were the cheapest fags you could buy. 26p for 10

My granny used to smoke about 40 Woodbines a day, up until she died in her early 90s. She used to smoke about half of one, then put it out with her fingers, before putting it behind her ear and then going back to finish it a bit later.

My Dad's brand. Plain not tipped. 40 a day til it killed him. When I was aged 9 & upwards my Friday evening mission was the newsagents for the fags & then the off door at the pub for 4 bottles of Mackeson.

Keeping the change was my pocket money for the week.

Then allowed to stay up late for the horror film on ITV.

Parenting like that gets you a visit from social services now probably !

& of course the newsagent & the pub landlord would be fined 1000s

Every Saturday, I used to be sent to get my dad five Grandee cigars and two dark chocolate Bounty's. He always got his Skol in himself.

Used the change to get 30p of pic n mix.

For the first time I now realise that seems quite posh.

 

[SJN-Fox]

30p! That would have got me 20 Peter Stuyvesant.

Nowt posh about Skol. It's the cigars that do it.

I think aspirational would be the word

Ooooh ! " Luxury Length " if i recall correctly. Probably the first superkings. Went through a phase of buying them probably because I thought i was getting more for my money. Bullshit since they were just more expensive.

Then there was the tokens.
No. 6, 2 in 10's, a 5 in 20's.

This is probably the most detailed thing I've heard about the inner workings of the club for years.

Most interesting bit was that Cody played 60mins in that pre-season game with a broken foot.

Scoooop

2 pence 1 tab and a match on Tick Tock park.

3p per fag at Andy's News on Beaumont Leys.

Put them up to 4p & his windows got bricked the next day.

We dealt with inflation differently back in the day I guess.
