I remember when polos went up to 8p!

(And I'm a year younger than you, and you're OBVIOUSLY not old. so therefore I can't be old either ;-).)

Do you know when that was? I'm not sure I remember it, but that may well be more to do with my not buying sweets much when a kid.

Sadly, no. I was very young at the time, though. I can't place it exactly, but since it didn't go up by 1/2p (which I also vaguely remember), I guess it must have been after they got rid of the 1/2p.

I didn't buy sweets as a child either. Wasn't allowed them. But fantasising about buying them *was* something I'd do ;-).

I do remember that there was GREAT controversy at secondary school when diet coke went up from 30 to 35p. That would have been early 90s.

Iirc Polos went up from 6 to 7p about 1983, if that's any help. (Which must have been about the same sort of time the ha'penny disappeared.)
