Things that you could buy for 10p.

dlofnep

2 woppa bars.
2 packets of fives.
Roy of the rovers bar, Desperate dan, stinger.
Chickatees, Banshee bones, Burger Bites (and other 10 penny crisps)
10 penny jellies.
3 of those bubble gums with fake tattoos that you rub on with spit and 1 penny jelly.
A single fag.
A dry blaa (local to Waterford only).

What else? We're talking 80's to early 90's here. No doubt some of you old codgers would have bought a house and 5 sheep for 10P back in the day.
