    25. Mostly 20p, 50p if I was lucky. It used to be enough to buy two packets of Meanies. Ah bless.

    I used to punch myself in the face so I could put more teeth under my pillow

    i remember finding my brothers first tooth he lost in a little silver box and pretended it was mine and had fallen out.. i got the 50p for it.. i still haven't told the truth and my mother still bends our ears over the 'disappearing tooth'...

    Embee and Cork_Girl- different prices for different classes of teeth- what were your parents? Dentists? :)

    Maybe I'm showing my age- I used get 10p/15p 20-25 years ago (it was actually a lot of money back then!- I'm 30 now).

    That would buy a pack of Tayto, a Mr. Freeze and a pack of the fruity chalky (not the fizzy) Refreshers ( and no doubt hurry up the next visit from the Tooth Fairy).

    You know, kids these days are so mercenary!

    God be with the days sweets were cheap. I remember every Friday, Daddy would come home and give us our pocket money (AN ENTIRE POUND) and we would race to the shops where we would buy loads of junk that all cost nice round figures.

    Burger Bites 10p
    Mint Crisp 10p
    Macaroon 10p
    Dan Bar 10p
    Cadet Cola 25p
    Fizzy Kola Lolly 5p
    Mr Freeze 10p
    Frosties 10p
    Ten Penny Sweets 10p

    Yeh but back in my day you'd have to walk ten miles in the snow with no shoes to get to the sweet shops... blah blah blah...

    I'm 19 and I used to get 50p or a pound.

    I remember one time I had just lost my tooth before bedtime and proudly told my dad, then I placed my tooth under the bed and went to the bathroom and came back and the tooth fairy had already come and gone. :rolleyes:
