I bet the hearts of your fellow holiday makers sink when they see you.

My dad must've got a wee payment from the insurance or something, because one day he gave me and my bruv a 10/- note each. We nearly fainted, 'cos my dad's wallet was more securely shut than Ernie Wise's was comically reputed to be. Wish I could recall what I spent it on, but there would've been comics and toys in there somewhere.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-29965388265928748302017-04-14T16:02:27.520+01:002017-04-14T16:02:27.520+01:00As a child growing up in the sixties,I always look...As a child growing up in the sixties,I always looked forward each year,until I was about ten,getting a birthday card from my gran,who stayed in Glasgow. For inside she would always include a Five Shilling postal order,which would quickly be exchanged for sweets and comics.<br />One year,I remember,instead of opening the card to find a postal order,out fell a crisp Ten Shilling note. Wow!,I was both delighted and dumbstruck at receiving such a small fortune.<br />Unfortunately,my dad,swiftly seeing an opportunity,promptly took the treasure off my hands,insisting that he,as my newly unelected financial manager should,'look after it for me'.<br />Hmm,I'm pretty sure an hour wouldn't have passed before it swelled the coffers of the local inn house.<br />Still,for that brief moment,I felt like the Sultan of Brunei,and to this day,I can't look at that particular piece of currency without instantly recalling that first fleeting encounter with riches beyond my imagination.moonmandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01426512355313104656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-89777331328067673492017-04-14T01:16:35.044+01:002017-04-14T01:16:35.044+01:00Ah, but you should see the picture of her in her a...Ah, but you should see the picture of her in her attic, CJ.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-27786731980050707082017-04-14T00:46:04.821+01:002017-04-14T00:46:04.821+01:00On the new "plastic" fiver the Queen'...On the new "plastic" fiver the Queen's face is yet again totally unchanged and she still looks about 50 rather than the old biddy she is now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-47438201654477767872017-04-13T21:13:35.225+01:002017-04-13T21:13:35.225+01:00You know, I just KNEW that you would get it, Simon...You know, I just KNEW that you would get it, Simon, being as how Abbey Road was one of your "15 Albums"!John Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035300858247327343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-57106187138947565502017-04-13T21:11:33.944+01:002017-04-13T21:11:33.944+01:00Ha ha, nice one, McS!Ha ha, nice one, McS!John Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035300858247327343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-73761500216406237102017-04-13T18:36:43.736+01:002017-04-13T18:36:43.736+01:00I think we did print them, PM, but I'd have to...I think we did print them, PM, but I'd have to check to be sure.
