About 14p I'm not quite that old to remember the price of a pint but I do remember 6d sweets.

Remember when you pressed the "A" button in the phone box to talk!

Remember chewing Bazooka chewing gum and then sticking it inside the refund slot so that people couldn't get their money back and then turning up later to unlodge said chewing gum with a lolly pop stick?

Remember when you had a commadore 64 and you had to load the games from a cassette and if it took too long to load the cassette would get an almighty kick..followed by no commodore 64 for the rest of the day.

Remember thinking the day you got the Commodore 64 that within the hour you'd be hacking into the CIA's computer system like Matthew Broderick did.

Remember when you had a ZX Spectrum, bought "Your Sinclair", and typed programmes out from the magazines to play them? Then thought that C-64s had amazing graphics?

Lunar Jetman FTW!

Remember collecting premier league stickers in school.

And swapping pokémon cards?

And non-colour gameboys?

And football matches using your jumpers as goal-posts?

And climbing trees?

I wish I was ten again.

Remember you had to blow into a N64/Gameboy game to get it to work. All the blowing would make you light headed.

Remember trying to find Wally.

Remember actually getting together to play a multiplayer game oof Mario Kart, now it's all online multiplayer.

Remember coming first in Mario Kart but at the very last second you slip on a Banana and you end up coming last.

Remember having the golden gun in the Goldeneye game, one shot would kill you.

Remember you had to use a wire (the Link cable) to transfer Pokemon to your friends Pokemon game.

Remember when you had a Nokia 3310/3330.

Remember finding

Yoshi

at the end of Mario 64. He would give you

100 lives.

Remember when the price of a packet of Tayto when up in price, from 2p to 4p.
There was nearly a riot on the school bus.

2/10 was 2 shillings & 10 pence, that was about 7 pints to the pound.

I started drinking very young of course.

Remember when a sixpenny icecream was a quarter of a block between 2 wafers. mmmmmm!

Remember when Ant and Dec were cool? Back in the SMTV Live days (my favourite sketch was chums, their rip off of freinds). God I loved that on Saturday mornings. Plus Kat Deeley was so hot.
