I'm unhappy that, in this day and age, a 99 does not cost 99p.

Our local ice cream van still charges 99p for a 99
Also sells popping candy and screwballs.
Proper retro

99p ?
When I was a lad an ice cream was ten fucking pee ! Ten fucking pee !

Now it's £1.20. What else has gone up a thousand percent since the fucking seventies ? Nothing.

Petrol cigs and booze
have all gone up due to tax not inflation

I can remember paying 20p for a can of coke and that's 60p a can,
I considered buying a pot noodle the other day but when I saw that it was on special offer for 99p I thought a quid to make me ill was a bit too much.

Don't get me started!
The fist time I ever went to a petrol station when I was 16 (ish) it was 3s/4d a gallon, about 16p. Oh and beer was 1s/9d less than 10p.

Mine sells screwballs
but not popping candy, he does know everyone over the age of 20 by name in Bradford though as he's been our ice cream man for as long as I can remember.
