I would make whatever the amount is somehow inversely proportional to the amount of flesh on show when she goes out. Bonus money for wearing a hessian sack and cast iron pants.
Oh right, spoil it for the rest of us whydoncha.I think it depends, do their rely on the pocket money for luxuries - going out with friends, or do they need it for buying clothes as well as luxuries.
I never received pocket money but my parents bought me everything I needed and wanted (within reason) and gave me just enough to cover the occasional outing I had. I didn't go out much so it worked fine. It worked great with my younger sister as it was a means of controlling how much she went out.
If it's for luxuries I'd say no more than £40 a month, if it's for everything I'd say the same but maybe give them a 'bonus' if they particularly need something.

Have a chum staying here at the moment, his 14 year old is on £50 a week! . . . . . I've asked to be either adopted or for a significant rise in rent
£50? FFS I worked when I was a kid and got less than that a week from my job. I think I got about £5 from my parents..I was given £20 a week then. My school was in the centre of town so it was good enough for the weekly Starbucks and I could easily save up to buy a game or whatever.
If she lives in the middle of nowhere I guess she won't need much as she can just have her parents buy her clothes etc.

You were lucky.
We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down at the mill, fourteen hours a day, week in, week out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home, our dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt.
