grant cheque day was different though - breakfast at suepees, off to the game in the afternoon then baa bar, 051 etc at night
i was lucky though, my auntie & uncle lived just down the road in west allerton so i used to get sunday tea at theirs every few weeks. poor buggers, i used to eat them out of house and home, their kitchen would be feckin EMPTY by the time i was finished

Sounds very familar.
@karkhaz - you were lucky, you had a computer. our house we had just one telly and for some reason my dad always had a sh*t hot stereo system. but we had no computer, no games consoles, no video, no washing machine, no tumble dryer, no microwave, never had a shower (just a bath) until i was about 15, never once went abroad on holiday... we weren't poor (or well off either) but it used to be really embarrassing sometimes cos all your schoolmates had computers, videos etc. primary school wasn't too bad cos there was no such thing as gadgets in the 70's but secondary school was a different story...
