You beat me to it

 

Hello all .

we were thinking of getting him a 12 month subscription to a football magazine .

all I can think of is 4 4 2 .

Any other suggestions , I could Google but pretty sure I will get better info from your good selves .
Stay safe all .

Well, when I was a nipper I used to read Charles Buchan's Football Monthly, not sure if it's still available, I asked in WHS yesterday and they were very helpful and looked on the sports magazine shelf but couldn't find it, very nice assistant escorted me to the door and ask me if I'd be able to get home on my own.

 

Did you offer the assistant a sixpence as a tip?

 

Thrupenny bit more or likely.

 

A thruppenny bit could buy you a nice bar of palm toffee....banana was my favourite. Happy days.

 

And you could get four Fruit Salads, or four Blackjacks, for a penny. Mars Bars were out of reach, at 7d.

 

Tell the kids today , they’d never believe you !

 

Under the circumstances I felt that a groat was perfectly adequate.

 

Hmm, cat lovers.
I find this post offensive
