One day When the fair came to town my mate and I had 40p between us. We were kids and desperately wanted more to go on the rides etc. I knocked on an local old lady’s house and pretended to be the milk mans helper doing the collections that Friday tea time. I told her her bill was £4.60 for her milk and to my surprise she agreed and gave me a £5 note. I gave her the 40p change. Worked a charm. We now had £2.50 each. Needless to say when the inevitable happened and the milkman went to collect at the address and after a bit of investigation, me and my pal were reprimanded especially off my dad and I was grounded for three months. It still fills me with guilt 30 years on.

My dad would have fucking leathered me for that caper. I got a tanking for playing football in an old biddies garden and she got my school bag and told me to bring dad to collect it.
I knew I was in for it when he said to her.
“I can assure you Mrs Goggins, it will never happen again.”
He was right. :)

It's what I didn't do
Must be about 25 years ago and I went to the real Old Trafford for England vs the West Indies with my brother
We took our seats and about ten minutes before play started three lads came in and took their seats about three rows behind us. Two of these lads were white and the other Asian. Some **** shouted, "you're at the wrong fucking game mate" to the raucous laughter of all around including my brother.
I was absolutely fucking disgusted and said to my Brother, "do you really think that's funny?" to which he replied "it's only a joke"
I always regret that I didn't stand up and call the racist out and my brother now is the most anti racist person you could ever meet

You were robbed. Gola for £1.29? Must have saw you coming.
Black with a luminous yellow stripe. Cool as fuck, I would have paid £1.49 at a push.

Shopping giant WOW there's a blast from the past.Never nicked anything from Woolies, their stuff was shite, preferred Shopping Giant. At some point must have felt bad about taking stuff into the bogs and putting it on underneath own clothing and shifted to changing the price stickers to a nominal sum. Fuck knows the amount of Gola trainers I got for £1.29.

And this post sums up what is wrong with Britain. You Sir were and entrepreneur and instead of being beaten/grounded or whatever you should have received guidance, then when you grew up you could have been an insurance salesman and if you had really worked hard, a banker.
Not way back, but today.....sent my wife a " intimate " txt, well, I thought I sent it to my wife, but, sent it to my daughter by mistake.......she's either puking up, in complete shock or ringing Childline.....oh, she's 19 by the way
