Price Changes

[BensGrandad]

I think the biggest rip off is Chips in a chippie average £1.20 - £1.50 a portion and rolls or sandwiches which quite often are £2.99 for something simple like cheese or ham.

It is, I've only ever heard my friend from Leeds say it.

By the way, no mention of Villa in this thread so far, sort it out.

So, the love bus, from VILLA, how much do you reckon liz will charge us for this PREMIUM RATE match?

 

[dougdeep]

but only £1.19 for a heavenly double cheeseburger at macdonalds!!

Nothing at Macdonalds is heavenly.

 

[8ace]

A can of Coke, a can of 7up, a can of Dr Pepper etc.

If someone says to you can you get me a can of pop then surely you then have to ask them 'yes and what exactly do you want'? A can of pop is a bit generic innit?

Sometimes generic has it's uses, if you went round someone's house and they offered you a drink they'd say "tea, coffee, beer, cider" you wouldn't interogate them as to what brand of tea bags or beer it was. Besides I rarely drink pop anyway, I prefer the free squash at work.

and that was a penny with a d not a p..........and flapjacks and fruit salads were four for a penny (I hesitate to say a farthing each!)

Now those REALLY were the days

dont you mean blackjacks ?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

I remember Polos being 7p a packet.. average now is 50p

A packet of Polos in the old days used to cost 3d.

Yeah, but what type of squah


Anyway, surely 8ace is the best drink of choice, used to love that in Viz, me.

70p at the chippy on Dyke road across from the tescos.

 

[Foolg]

70p at the chippy on Dyke road across from the tescos.

Standard however has fallen drastically since the old boy left though!

 

[BensGrandad]

70p at the chippy on Dyke road across from the tescos.

That is unusually cheap by todays prices, oh for the days of 6d (2.5p) of chips.

I've never actually tried Ace lager, think it's only available in the north-east or so my smoggy mate said.

 

[Brownstuff]

My old man reckons his FA Cup Final ticket in 1983 was about 250 pennies
Have some of that

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

OMG I remember 5p a packet, wasn't that long ago!

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

When I started my paper round, (just after decimalisation, I earnt 12p a day - 84 p a week!!

and then moved on to earning the (then) huge sum of huge sum of 50p an hour in Wimpy.

 

[Southwick_Seagull]

Freddo's now 15p. It's a disgrace.

 

[Beach Hut]

The Times went up to £1 on Monday - disgrace

Weren't they 'Blackjacks', not flapjacks? Flapjacks were cakes my Mum used to bake...............

 

[medicine man]

I remember when Mojo's were a ha'penny each, when said coin was no longer legal tender my biggest concern was whether Mojo's would double in price overnight...


...my joy when they were 2 for a penny!
