Assuming that as a teenager you had a bit of money to spend on things that weren’t strict necessities, but still didn’t have loads of cash to splash, what kind of things did you buy?
I was born 1980. My pocket money, birthday money, babysitting money went on:
Magazines (especially Just Seventeen).
Body Shop lip balms and fruity soaps.
Guitar strings and plectrums.
Stationery.
Sweets (especially sherbet stuff, kola kubes and the like).
Bus fares to town.
Cinema tickets.
Glitter or pastel nail polish.
The NME.
Cassette singles.
Wimpy burgers and milkshakes.
Body sprays.
Glow in the dark plastic stars for my bedroom ceiling.
