The 90s

[CEB]

Amazing

[LPE]

As others have said, a night out that only cost a score. Going to the pub for a few jars was genuinely within reach for most people. So few can’t afford it, or justify the expense now.

[Mick McQuaid]

LSD being readily available and practically given away.

[EliotNes]

Kids being able to gain meaningful employment without a university degree and £ks of debt and, after saving for just a few years, being able to buy their first home on just a 25-year mortgage.

So true

Substitute "Cocaine" for "LSD" and welcome to the 3rd decade of the 2000s.

Cocaine was everywhere in the 90s

[Mick McQuaid]

Yes, but substituting cocaine for acid would be like swapping a cat for an orange, nonsensical. Also, I have no idea what it costs these days but a gramme of coke was £50 in 1993/4, my rent was £55 a week. I was a student, not a city boy.

[Beradogs]

Yep. 50 quid back then. Only 60 quid now. Alledgedbelly.

[Dunners]

I've heard that a single ecstacy tablet could cost between £10 and £20 depending on quality and strength. And an 8th of weed was £15.

I've no idea what it would cost now though.

[BIGRON]

I'm dreading the next world war which I feel will be very soon .

[lordgriff]

Seems to be having a bit of a comeback.

I'm looking forward to Gladiators tomorrow night.

What are you looking forward to, or dreading?

Orient being well positioned for a play off spot and then losing the last 6 matches of the season

Why the f#ck would you swap ?

You'd take both .
We're you awake in the 90s ?

If you got yourself a lil boat with a decent outboard £2 or £5 if you bought a few boxes of each.

I’ve heard you could buy a tab of acid for £3 or £4 back in the early/mid 90s, Which is in stark contrast to £50 for a gram of coke, which I’ve heard is what that cost.

I’ve heard £15 was the going rate circa 1990-93, which would see you right for a good 6-8 hours.

The idea of acid and coke being taken in combination is terrifying ,

Don't knock it till you've tried it (Don't take drugs kids).

I've heard that by '95 a dove would cost a tenner. I've also heard that 50% of those 6-8 hours was on the downward slope. So the best way to use 2 pills was to take a half every 2 hours and then rely on the 8th of weed to get you through the comedown.

Or so I've heard.

[Omygawd]

Buying a car for £200 that, with the aid of a Haynes manual and tool kit you got for your 18th birthday, you could maintain as roadworthy all by yourself.

Don't forget the large tub of Isopon!

[Omygawd]

Buying my kids Tamogchis and after 2 days hoping they died quickly. The electronics, not the kids - if I remember correctly tly.....
