Mrs McM was so poor she had to window-shop at the Pound Store.

And we were so poor that when we were constipated we couldn't afford laxatives
so Dad sat us on the potty and told us Ghost stories

Burglars used to break in and leave us stuff! (Paul Daniels)

In the village cafe, we'd order a glass of water and five straws!

[McMouse]

We would go to KFC and lick other peoples fingers

Haha, funny thread so here's my contribution.

When I was a child the house was so cold and we were so poor that my dad sucked an extra strong mint and we gathered around him with our hands outstretched just to keep warm.

lol @ New2quizzes! Years ago a mate of mine and his 3 friends went to a pub. They only had enough money for 1 pint and shared it between them!

My dad was so thin, two people couldn't look at him at once!

We were so poor I had no clothes. For my 5th birthday I was given a hat and I could finally look out the window.

Two of us wore one skirt to school.

We couldn't afford shoes, we went to the shop and were given the boxes to wear
