    Okay, assuming you were lucky enough to get pocket money, how did you spend it?

    I used to get 4 Blackjacks, 2 Fruit Salads and a Pop ice-pop.

    It would be great if a Mod could add a poll as to whether Blackjacks or Fruit Salads were better.

    Which were better? 44 votes

    I didn't. Sweets were God and had to be obeyed, then eaten.

    Packet of meanies, touchdown, chomp (maybe two) and a bottle of cadet. Odd time I'd get a fruit salad, Applejack or striker bar.

    Add your own poll ya lazy fecker.
    See what happens when you're just "given pocket money" instead of having to earn it. You become spoilt. Spoilt is what you become :P

    Seriously though, you can add your own poll with all the answers you want by click the thread tools tab at the top of the thread :)

    The same as blackjacks etc only they were pink and blue, if I remember correctly and tasted vaguely fruity. I think if I ate any one of those things now my teeth would break and fall out.

    I bought a subscription to worlds most amazing warplanes, some sort of star trek magazine about technical specifications & spent the rest rhubarb and custard sweeties. I was a hardcore nerd.

    Worked my arse off for an entire summer picking fruit to buy a super nintendo.... that was a good year...

    My mother stitched up my pockets so no money could be spent.
