I left school in 1964 and went to work at Burtons the Tailors and one of the most popular options was wash leather pocket linings, When you look at that lot you can understand why.
Wow! I remember it well. Was on the papers and couldna wait to buy something just to get New Money in my change. But 50 years is scary I delivered papers morning and night 6days a week for £1. Talk about being ripped off
When I was about 12 I found a half crown coin(12 and a half pence in today’s money)I thought I’d got the world. They were bloody big coins as well.
Din’t effect my pockets! Money were niver in there long enough, holes in the pocket we’re to play wi ‘Willie’!
