I was thinking of 1976 as a sixteen year old :-

My Saturday spending costs when I was 16
One Gallon of Petrol for my Garelli Tiger (including shot of 2 stroke oil).
Fags 20 Marlboro.
Pre match pint in the Ferry Boat.
Entrance through the Boys gate at Carrow Rd.
2 bits of Chicken & chips from P.O.W. Rd Kentucky.
Post match pint in the Black Boys (Colegate).
1 Cinema ticket Odeon Anglia Square.
Entrance to Scamps or Legs Anglia Square.
Each costing 35p.
A five pound note would leave enough for 5 more pints in the nightclub (50p a time).
