Sharing My World 02-10-2023
Here is my post for Share Your World, hosted by Di.
When you were a child, did you have your friends round for tea even if it wasn’t your birthday? Were you invited to stay to tea at a friend’s house?
Yes, everybody did that back then. Over to a friend’s, play on the computer or race around on our bikes, fishfingers and baked beans for tea, then back home 🙂
What was your first job in adult life?
I had a summer job at the County Council in their computer department between finishing school and starting university. That was back when computers took up most of a room and had big machines with tapes spinning in, like you see in old films on the telly 🙂
Do you enjoy shopping (food, clothes, gifts etc)
Nope, not at all. Surgical strike – straight to the goods, pay, get out.
What was the best bargain you ever got?
In all my life? Let me think dearie ooh there that one time 1974 I think it was or 1975 that there sweet shop was doin’ them penny chews at a ha’ppeny each if you can believe that ha’penny each my word you don’t get that these days don’t know what the world’s coming to 300 quid for a loaf of bread it’s disgusting I blame the government gibber gibber mumble…

The sweets may be expensive as hell these days, but I’ll bet computer prices have dropped since that old fifteen ton (or tonne) tape machine…

They have for sure, now they’re subsidised by bloated sweets profits.

Thanks for joining in. I remember computer rooms where the occupant was mainly a computer, and those chews! We used to get four for a penny, blackjacks or fruit salad, or you could have two of each. Liquorice wheels were a penny and you could get a small bar of chocolate for thruppence. Decimalisation was such a con! Suddenly you only had 100 pennies to the pound instead of 240!

That was back in the days where you waited 10 minutes for a game to load up using a cassette tape 🙂
