Buying 10 packets of panini football stickers for a £1 and getting a bo**ocking from my Mum and Dad as nearly everyone was a swap! That was my weeks pocket money wasted!

Great big adidas bags to carry your school book in and to act as goalposts for breaktime footy in the playground, which after the first two weeks of keeping it in great condition ended up with "All Day I Dream About Sex" or "A Dod Is Doing A Shit" written on the side.

Also staying up for all hours at night at the weekend watching some god awful 70's film on you black and white portable TV in the bedroom waiting for those ten seconds when Jenny Agutter got her breasts out. Its not so exciting these days when its so commonplace.
