Transfer Rumours Yann M'Vila

Walls . . . . were those the ones that could make dogs talk ?

 

What about villa pop then..

Wasn.t there villa and sykes?
delivered to your door

 

There was mate. Villa sasp and Sykes ginger beer were the ones.

The Sykes ginger beer was in a stone flagon. I had one (wrapped in a sheet) as a hot water bottle as a nipper.

 

I had Lowcocks pop round my way

Haha pops. Imagine folks not from sunderland trying to figure out this thread.

Its gone from a french player to ice cream onto pop.

 

Home delivery?

 

They`ve got no chance.

 

Yeah, and money back on the bottles.

Pop tasted nicer from glass bottles, at least physiologically they did.

 

Aye. 3d. (The young`uns will be lost with that one)

 

3d? What the **** is that? Is that some kind of oldie worldie money you're talking about? Currency only really old people remember.

 

Nah im lost. But are they both closed?

Thought villa was still going. Of north hylton rd

 

Physiologically, Bri

 

Yes. Also known as `proper money`.

Exchange rate : 12d = 5p

 

A shilling (or a shullen) or a bob, eh

 

Haven`t seen it for a while tbh. I think they still supply shops.

 

So 3d=? Go on, work that out.

 

Threepence is now 1.25p

. . . . and you could see them from all angles (3d)

 

I'd rather smash the bottles. But that shows more about the type of kid I was.

 

Didn't Hitler seize there?

 

That 1.25p was worth having when a decent wage was about £2 per week.

Bag of chips 2.5p
The same 2.5p would get you 10 chews.

That 3d would probably equate to about £1.50 now. A few bottles for a kid at that time was serious wealth.
