They wear jewellery worth about £125 , and £75 watch, carry a mobile phone at £127.58 and an M3 player worth £150. Wallets or purses cost £32.80 and hold about £30. A third of the parents say teens expect the latest fashions, and half say they spend half their average £6.29 a week pocket money on clothes and gadgets. But 3 in 10 teens regularly lose valuable items or have them stolen. Cornhill Direct say 'Parents should try to prevent them leaving the home with too much costly kit'.

This poll hardly seems accurate did they just poll in affluent parts of the country or something? The average pocket money is high as well they have more disposable cash then many adults.
