My first LP was The Beach Boys Today costing 27/6d while 20 Gauloises were 1/3d. You could buy a pint of Mild then which you don't seem to see these days.
Bowie. Diamond dogs 2.49 in Woolies. My singles cost Anything from 20p in the offer basket to £1.25 new in sounds around record shop Kidderminster.
When I went to work in Germany in the early 80s, we were delighted to find that English 5p pieces were exactly the same size as a one Mark piece (= 25p in those days). We were the bane of German fag machine owners.
my dad used to smoke no6, his favorite joke was the bloke pushing a wheelbarrow full of egg fried rice out of Chinese takeaway moaning that he only went in for 20 no6
I used to swap the price stickers on records in woolies. Rummage in the reduced bin for a nice low price sticker, put it on the expensive record (or tape) I wanted, and before you know it, they've gone bust. Do feel guilty? Do I *****. Woolies was a house proud paedo paradise. Little peoples clothes, bog brushes, and pick n mix Bit odd if you ask me
I tapped the top of the packet ( it was one of those crush proof packets)just like James Dean to get a fag out and the whole lot went all over the floor, then I thought it would be cool to drive my Cortina through the ford next to our pub, the river was in flood and we both got soaked, but she forgave me, for our second date I took her to her first ever football match Chelsea v millwall , what was I thinking it was like a war, she spent the day watching me and my mates having punch ups needless to say I didn't see her again
So, you want rock and chips, 2 fish cakes, a saveloy......and would sir like something for the weekend?
I could never pronounce Peter Stuyvesant......well, obviously the Peter bit I was fine with...the second bit I found tricky. Gauloises, or Gitanes, we used to smoke those at college in the 80s to show we were sensitive arty types. What were those fancy coloured Russian cigs?
