I used to get 20 cents to buy my school lunch. 10 cents for a battered fish with 5 cents worth of chips and a Razz for 5 cents. (approx 1970)

You and I must be around the same age mate!

I remember when they brought out Glugs which were similar to Sunnyboys but cola flavoured and red skins (fook I might be called a racist) and one of my favourite times of the year Cracker Night and you buy Penny Bungers, thunders and tom thumbs that you would scare the shit out of the girls at school with.

Plus the sky rockets were mega!

Fook we had a special youth when compared to what the kids of today can enjoy.

10 cents worth of mixed lollies if I was rich, 5 cents if it was a tight week.

Licorice blocks, sherbies and fizzers were my favourites.
