I was looking at the Bayern programme the other day and there's an ad on the back for Capital fags. £1.18.

Captain Slog Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 They were my Dads cig of choice, I remember being sent to the newsagent, and it was 27p for 10 - and i got to keep the 3p change. That was round about the time my pocket money went up from 10p to 50p a week. That was when you could send a ten year off for cigarettes, and also when you could get packets of 10.

My first pint was 55p in Piggies in Broxburn, that would have been 83 or 84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ri Alban Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The only decent smokes. But thankfully I've been of ciggies for over 11 years. I went from Regal to Mayfair to roll ups back to Mayfair and then to feck this. As for the Q? They must be about 12 and hauf quid or more.

Tazio Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I don’t understand how people can afford to smoke now. Depending if you go for premium quality or cheap bingo fags you’re looking at around £70 a week on average if you’re a 20 a day type. Then chalk on the price of a pint when we could still do that. There are boys in my local that are there nearly every night for 4 or 5 pints and constantly popping out to smoke. That’s over £200 a week or around £10k a year.

All available each Friday afternoon from inside and outside the Chip Inn. Halcyon days. I think a 16th was what we called a "deal". So thin you could shave with it but it passed the time on the long afternoons when me and a couple of mates were out of work. Wake up, ask for a few quid for bus fares to go "job seeking", meet up with my mates at the shop and get ten Lambert and Butler (the cheapest then), a packet of skins and then someone would "jump doon for a deal". All that for £10 and that was only about 1998. My mate was a master at making it go a long way. A couple of joints and can pipes (if we were outside) or a couple of buckets (if someone had an empty). There used to be a careers office for 16-18yo where you could get assigned a worker who got you interviews. You had to go to most or got chucked off it but every so often you could say you couldn't find the place or some other bullshit and they would let you away with it. They would give you £5-£10 for fares depending where the interview was. If we all managed to blag an interview on the same visit to the office then we could potentially walk out with £30. That would get us a quarter (£25 back then), a 20 deck, skins and a couple of bottles of juice and that would be us for a whole day and night and some of the next day. Anyway, I digress . I smoked either Club or Regal. Then they became too expensive so I moved onto Mayfair then baccy and now I use an e-cig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
