    A job I had, we used to call the delivery drivers the "Crackerjack Club"
    During the week when they got back they were ment to load their vans we finished at 5, they normally got back about 3:30 -4:00
    except Friday they didn't, as they knew we would have to do it on a Saturday.
    Every Friday it was like a convoy coming in at 5 to 5



    What about going to the local shop and getting a 10p mix or 2oz of midget gems that got weighed out from a big jar

      I used to save my school dinner money to spend after school in the sweet shop.

      There now, I've confessed!

                          I remember flares, tank tops and platform shoes. I still have a pair of embroidered flares and pink tie died T shirt. Needed those in case you went out with a hippie girl.

                          I also remember buying a tailored suit made from Denim.
