My mum used to make me wear shorts for much of the year as my primary school had no grass and we played football every break/lunch on the concrete playground. Meant she didn't have to buy hundreds of pairs of trousers each year. Obviously not in the bitter cold/rain though.

Back before these mini-supermarkets, we used to call the local shop "2 at a time" because that's what they'd shout when 3 tried going in at once. Everyone was on the rob.

Choring your lunch to save your lunch money so you could buy bevvy at the weekend

I'll have you know we stole from Waitrose.

I dined in style

Stealing from Waitrose is shady. Their staff are on a profit share.

You're taking money out of the checkout and shelf stackers' pockets.

[Big Physical Acey]

Quite sad to see THF members' brazen satisfaction in engaging in criminal activity. Common thievery, no less.

Surprised with Morph's grassing record he hasn't turned himself in.

Taking money away from the working class.

Taking money away from the working class.

Precisely.

Actually a wee bit upset about all of this.

Are you pretending you're a posho again?

What a disappointment it must be for parents who spend large sums of money on their kids education to see them end up with bang average careers. My mate went to Dollar academy then spent 5 years working in the shell garage

Parents have bought him a shop on Byers road now though

[PHOODLE-OUt]

Mrs VS and siblings are Dollar alumni. They're not poshos though

What's the best state school in Edinburgh now?

My mate is a youth worker and it's an eye opener. The school he works in has a major drug problem from 1st to 3rd years

Smart mum. My son's going through a pair of jeans every three weeks or so it seems. Threatened him with patches but he's already sussed we're too lazy to do shite like that.

The good old days of shopping at Aitken and Niven.

Good memories.

I'm guessing you're there for a blue blazer?

I always thought it was Boroughmuir and the Royal High.

Dollar's as posh as Stirling/clacks gets. What level of posho do you have through there?

Think Broughton is right up there now.

It's got the edinburgh music school, and is now an SFA centre too. Think their exam results have shot up loads too. Changed days from when I was there

We got our lunch in some scaffy wee shop in polbeth, also 2 at a time.

Trinity has gone the complete other way.

I think Broughton is in a weird situation now because of the area and the programmes. Attracts the talented kids but also the absolute schemies like yourself.
