    D6BDAA00-4C7D-482C-AF87-2B07725D3800.jpeg No football, bored of stuffing my face so thought I’d share.
    Myself and Mrs mop love going around charity shops,
    paying just £8 for a leather jacket worth over £100 is
    something I’m very happy to do. Some though do
    have a smell of moth balls or the charity shop pong.
    On this occasion though the jacket was virtually new
    and surprisingly fits like a glove, I have very long arms
    so getting stuff to fit properly can be a right ball ache.
    I’m getting ready to go to a family meal the other day
    and as I was popping my phone in the inside pocket
    of said jacket, I felt something. It turned out to be
    2 Hull City tickets, for a match on the 6th April 2013
    against Middlesbrough. Also it looks like they were
    never used or the little slip wasn’t taken off at the
    gate. I was wondering if the owner couldn’t find them
    and never went to the match or just bought another
    ticket. Like I said, bored, no football and eating way
    to much. Picture above.

    I think we were scanning the tickets in 2013 so thats probably the reason the stub is still on.

    I found an original pressing of Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane in a charity shop once.

    Near mint condition with original cover.

    50p.

    I would've paid dozens of times more than that. It's worth a small fortune.
