A Quarter

[Tiplodocus]

Amusingly, one of teen Tips' mates texted today asking if he could buy a Quarter for him.

I sent a text bag asking whether it was Sherbert Lemons or Liqourice Torpedos for the 1/4.

[Radbacker]

hope teen Tips and said mate are at least 16 or 17 not 13-14 as I doubt that would be Sherberts he's talking about.

Duid you get a message back?

I doubt that would be Sherberts he's talking about.

Indeed, it's probably midget gems. Kids these days.

 Its the bloody EU again ! Everything has to be in grams etc these days.Its illegal to sell in pounds and ounces anymore and if caught a hefty fine will be imposed.

A quarter? That's 25 cents. I wish him luck, as to the best of my knowledge the Bureau de Change only keeps foreign currency in the form of notes, not coinage. Kids these days - they don't know nuffink.

[Radbacker]

i read it as a Quarter Ounce, a regular amount that Weed is sometimes sold as or so I hear.

You think? In my day it was an eighth. That was all my dope-fiend friends could lay their hands on. Kids these days have got it far too good I reckon.

But now they're all smoking this super-skunk you'd think they'd need less of it.

[Roger Godpleton]

Why were you looking at his texts?

[JimBob]

 And why is it sold in imperial measurements but all other drugs are in grammes and KG?

[Roger Godpleton]

Because it's a "nice" drug.

BTW that was just a flippant comment, and I am not interested in starting a debate about cannabis so please don't start a riot.

[Satanist]

Pfft! In my day we called it a half of a half but I suppose that's to much to type for todays lazy yoof!

AND its half the price.

[Matt Timson]

Back in the day, I always used to buy by the eighth- and it was always 15 quid.  Even now, I hear the kids talking about "15 quid for an eighth".  

I wish I could buy a pint for what I paid in 1987 as well...
