1991: was skint and waiting for my next giro. Went round my mum's house to try and borrow a tenner she lent me a few quid and gave me a dented can of carling black label lager she'd got from the reductions aisle for 55p. I opened the can when I got back to my flat and out popped a tube with two £50 notes in it. That was my Willy Wonka golden ticket moment, spent it on some speed and some proper lager, it was all downhill from there!
