Not a joke but just a little story of my childhood I would like to share.
When I was a lad Saturday mornings always entailed me doing my mum's and grandma's errands.
One of them was always to the bakery.My mum would say to me,bring half a dozen assorted buns/cakes.I would reply,what kind shall I bring mam.?
My mum would reply,bring whatever you want,so off I would go and get the bread and cakes.(My own favourite was bilberry charlottes,so usually I would include a couple of those.
On my return my mum would look at what I had brought and then would say,what have you brought those for,why didn't you bring.... :-X ;D

Typical Mum... :D

Aaaaaaaw Unc ;D
I once worked with a young chap who was going out to get himself a sandwich; I asked him if he'd pick up a custard tart for me, and said if they don't have a custard tart get me anything ..... he brought me a pork pie :'(

I love porkpies.....especially the 'jelly' bit :yum:
My Saturday shopping finished when I had been to the fish and chip shop at lunch time.
I would get to the top of our street,look left up the hill and always see a big queue outside the shop.My heart would sink to the floor and my lip would quiver. :'(
Once that was out of the way my Saturday could begin.
Usually a trip to the Saturday matinee at the local flea-pit cinema.....Gene Autry,Zorro...No one was safe after I had seen them :lol:

:lol:
You've reminded me Unc .... I used to go to the Saturday matinee too and we were given a ticket on entry with a number on it, during the interval several numbers would be put up on the screen and if you had one of those numbers you had a free ice cream lolly ! I won a few of those :yum:

It use to be 7d to get in.....a sixpence and a penny and you were in heaven for a couple of hours. ;D

I cant remember the exact amount but it was pence ... what would 7d - roughly 3 pence - buy today ?? ..... (I'm turning into my grandmother ;D )

7d :o
That was expensive, it used to cost me 6d, and I had to nag my mother for that.

The Haircut
One Friday in the Summer holidays I was going to play footy when my mum said,here's 2 bob call and get your haircut while you are out.Now in them days a haircut only meant one thing...short back and sides. :'(
So I thought bugger that I'm only going to have a trim.
On my return in the afternoon as I walked in my mum was on her knee's cleaning (Friday was always the big cleaning day of the week)
She looked up at me and said,I thought I told you to get your hair cut !!
I've been mam I replied,
With that she sprang to her feet and then proceeded to turn my head around for inspection....YOU'VE BEEN she shouted at me,yes mam I replied.
She then said well you had better get back and tell 'em to do it properly,I'm not paying 2 bob for that.
There was no refusal to go...unless i wanted to lose my head completely,so I had to go back and say to the barber..me mam says that you have got to take some more off..
And he did...with a passion. :'(
Happy days... ;D
