I never bothered with tokens, but I think they were mandatory for the waltzer?If we had been bowling or were killing time before a film started at the old pictures, we would maybe scoot into Metroland for a quick look *perv* around. Maybe even going on a ride or two in the process.
I used to always get ocean beach tokens on offer. I'm sure the chronicle used to do them 10 quid for 30 quids worth or something?
We never got wristbands those times.
If we didn't get chatting to a stunner from Blaydon (they weren't fussy about Nike Airs then), it was generally a scoot into the game shop outside Metroland or the other side of the food village place.
