just found this thread on another forum and nearly wet myself laughing at the memories, maybe this is for the older ones on the site.

anyway give me the memories that showed you were poor, you know what i mean cr@p trainers etc.

anyway the one that got me thinking (and we did actually have this) was the meter on the back of the TV, you had to put 50p in to watch the telly, that would last so long then you had to put more money in, in the old days of rented TVs

We were that poor that when someone rang our doorbell we had to yell "Ding Dong!" out the window.

it must just be us boys in the 70s were poor,

[Woollyback]

i remember when we used to play out as kids we quite often used to go to our mate daz's house for a drink. we were only allowed to have water as the orange squash was "saved for best"   

at the time we just thought it was funny but thinking back his parents were probably flat broke. they lived in a sh*tty council flat and his dad was in and out of jobs like a feckin yoyo
