I used to get a penny per year so got a pay rise every birthday!! But I also had a comic bought for me every week, and, sometimes sweets too. (after rationing (I am a child of the 40s!)

Never got any pocket money off mum and dad but every Friday dad would get us a bar of choccy and a packet of Opal Fruits and an Arrow Bar.

Nan and granddad bought us a comic and 3d every Friday as well.

Best treat was from my gr. nan on Saturday afternoon.... we got a twist of sweets and 2d plus a chocolate biscuit and a glass of home made lemonade, she said it was home made any way.
