Lunch money for week lol
I remember the days when a pound would get you a can of coke, a Mars bar and a few jellies. We’re being robbed altogether lads
Nothing like carrying a picture of a nun stuffed into the front pocket of your jeans to soften your stiffy.
Is it still the going rate?
I remember when a fiver would buy you a house, a mountain of Mars Bars, two bikes and you’d still have change for yer chips.
Two pints out of that!
Mother Catherine McCauley😁
That creepy penguin woman!
Many a birthday id get one and think I was a king lol
Would banks still exchange Irish currency?
Never knew Jersey had its own money either.
Did ya ever get a feel
In 1990 as a student in WRTC for a brief period, £5 got me 3 Guinness (1.5 punts) and a bag of chips (50p) – it was a perfect Sunday night meetup with friends after getting the bus down. Had 30 punts to last the rest of the week.
I remember in the mid 90s being able to get 4 cans of coke, 4 mars bars and 4 packs of tayto for £5. Never have I felt older than right now
I remember the days where £5 would buy you €6.34869
Those notes crinkled way better than the euro notes.
Those fivers were ahead of their time really. A transsexual nun on the note. 😮
Remember ten penny bags? They’re fucking €2 now!
