Singles

Heard in Waterford

Single cigarettes sold by certain shops in the 80's/90's(usually near schools) for 10p.

Will we get singles at lunch time and smoke 'em at the back of the Marian?

Posh English

Shall we procure single cigarettes at luncheon and consume them behind the Marian establishment?
