In the tea thread @welsh dragon mentioned woodbines..which reminded me?
As a young devious little #%#% I was always upto no good.
I took up the fags as most did around my way ,my dad collected sixpence's in a tub which he kept in the wardrobe.
I used to dip into this fund and pop down the road to the Old Scarlet pub off licence and by 10 no6 or gold leaf woody's etc as they were about 25p then.
the landlord Cyril knew me as my dad used the pub most nights...my dad asked Cyril to keep any sixpence's he found when cashing up as he collected them..
he even paid a bit more for them...
I kept this scam going for too long and dad twigged...Cyril found it highly amusing as did my dads mates..
lukily my dads a top bloke so I got away with a raised callused hand and a "you little ##*%" speech..
