Ma Reilly crisps, not that i'm complaining they were mouldy things.

On the subject of crisps, remember getting crisps in a clear packet not a foil one, simpler times.

Vote and then admit to voting for your cadidates afterwards.

Learn a trade, get a job, and work for a company until you retire.

Had a fetish for the spearmint ones but the cola weren't without their charm.

Clock your colleagues cards in and out at work while they went for a pint

Denerick

If you work/ed in a hotel, be able to clock in first thing in the morning, go home, come back for your evening shift and clock out after that. I did that about 7 or 8 times, hotel was so sloppily managed we could away with it too. Handy when bills were approaching...

(Definately couldn't get away with it anymore)

Not being a minority in Dublin

Holidays were for 'rish' people also

pre celtic tiger parents made their kids sandwiches for school, or adults made their own sandwiches for work. coffee at work came from a flask or a kettle.
wine was for special occasions or posh people. a couple of hours in tymon north park dublin was a treat. a day in bray was a treat. holidays came after a 3-6hr car journey, not a 3-6hr flight


a lucky few might be given 50p to buy some sweets for lunch or get a milk/chocolate milk delivered to their school. when my generation got to secondary school every centra(every town now had a centra) in every town at 12.30/1pm had a huge qeue for the ham/chicken salad roll with a bottle of coke to wash it down. i dont remember those kind of shop delis when i was 10yrs old.

the breakfast roll generation i suppose you could call it.

Be a teacher and not have at least 5 kids in your class "suffering" from ADD/ADHD.

In other words, kids whose parents are too wishy washy to actually tell them off, and feed them a balanced diet of crisps, coke and sweets, let the child play video games all day every day, then wonder why it's hyperactive :rolleyes:
