My Dad gave us £1. It seemed alot in those days especially since it used to be a £1 note for some reason it seemed more than a $1 pound coin.
My Mum gave us 50p for doing little chores round the house each day. My job was to empty the bins. lol.

It was a pound a week (in 1992), which was a bit of a pain when the toys I liked were at least £5 each.

I had to be good and clean up for that pound too!

I never got any pocket money, but when I asked for something (which wasn't very often) I usually got it.

It wasn't 'til I started my paper-round that I had a regular income, and I spent that on amusement parks and cigarettes!!

I used to get like 5 - 10 a week. Not bad for back then, mid - late sixties.

Answer 10

I didn't get pocket money, we were so poor that mum and dad lived in a cardboard box while we 10 kids lived in their pockets, so there was no room for money.
