In conversation with Stephen Williams
"Sweet bananas, sherbert dabs, bullseeyes... I had to be very careful - the way I spent my Saturday penny - no, farthing! You could get many things for a penny... 16 sweets for one penny. Choose carefully and make the money go further. Ice-creams? No, I seldom had enough money for an ice cream." - Pocket money 1913.
