I can remember buying thrupence worth of broken biscuits, they were served in a paper bag. While "Stingy", that's what we called the shopkeeper, was out the back, we pinched his two bob chocolates. And yes we still waited for our bag of broken bickies. Hmmm...Seems I've just confessed to something, well we were only 9 at the time. On the other hand 9 year olds nowadays are pinching cars and doing B&E's.

It all sounds so innocent nowadays doesn't it Rob... The days when we still believed in Santa Claus and were happy to receive something under the tree - a new book, even a Meccano Set if we were reeeely lucky and - Oh Bliss - a bike!

Now all that has been spoiled with massive $$$ spent on things the kids EXPECT... X-(
