Just tried my suit on to see if it still does ! And it does lol

Plus found 20quid the trouser pocket :)

Was it in old money? If it was those coppers must have melded together by now.

When my 4 month old granddaughter smiles it's guaranteed I smile back.

Watching a food prog, relying on subtitles to make up for poor hearing.
Subtitle says: “The lamb is served with a red wine JEW.”
And some Shitake Muslims?

I don't have to change radio channels for another 11 months, for fear of hearing Fairytale of New York

If she lives at an altitude of around 2000m above sea level then that’s possible

was trying to explain to a twenty something today that these were in every pub and club - they refused to believe it especially that the payment was ket the same and if costs/taxes went up you just got fewer cigs in a packet

Not sure why a ciggie machine would make anyone smile, they were more expensive than a pack from a shop.....and you only got 17!!!

as a FOC and non smoker i could never get that you got differing amounts of ciggies for different price-but do remember going on holiday to grandparents in Bridlington most summers when young and the newsagents that shut 6pm on the dot had a ciggie machine outside

But shops used to close at 5pm. Don't forget the Off Licence used to be part of a pub. Until mid 1960's there were no shops acting as off licences and usualky they weren't near a pub. So if you ran out of ciggies you had to use a machine.

3 of us aged about 12 used to put 5p each and cycle into town to get 10 number 6 from the chrome plated (!) mini cigarette machine outside the old fashioned tobacconist’s. Imagine, 3 young lads and 10 fags!!

I wasn't born in the 60's....just remember the machines in pubs/clubs in the 80's, feel a bit younger now! ;)
