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…
