I think possibly only AA will top this. When I was about 16, I used to get £1 pocket money off my dad. For that I could get 10 pints of double diamond and a fish supper. :o


Oh Noooo, not fish

 ;D ;D ;D

Think we've got away with it, Spongey must be out molesting taking the sheep for a walk.

1994 - Madisons, Nottingham, Thursday Night......we used to drink snake bite and black for 70p and buy 4 pints at a time....

Oh, Snake bite and black ::)

It was 80p down south. Even still...

The consequences of over indulgence weren't pretty though!

You've just reminded me Kevin.....the old Guiness Splatter ;D

i can remember a packet of 10 red band was 99p, a group of us used to chip in and buy a packet.

Thankfully i gave up smoking when they hit £3.50 for 20, now the cheapest i see is £5 for 20  :o :o :o

my local used to do light split for 1.25  or the youngsters fave was diamond white IIRC it was less than a pound a bottle  :y

diamond white and two dogs mixed together, we used to call it electric lemonade and get slaughtered on it  ;D ;D ;D

It's all good and well... but a round weekend trip to Paris with good old BA (when their livery included the Union Jack and not the silly art-nouvo tails) was £400. No Easyjet or Ryanair in those days, and definitely no £10 getaways...

And mobile phones were 35p per minute....

And a fully-loaded PC was £1,500..

And some years ago I paid over a £1,000 for a 32" TV that weighed 100Kg.... the difficult bit was to get rid of it last year.

So I guess it's not all bad news then...

My then girlfriend got me and my mates drinking Tequila and Diamond White slammers when I was at university :o

The perfect drink for when it's 10:30 in the evening and you're not quite as drunk as you thought / hoped you'd be. Down in one, because if you realised how foul it tasted before you'd swallowed it the only way it was going was up.

30 seconds later you're a gibbering wreck. Fantastic. :y
