Thread: 20 odd years ago a thieving ******* of a glazer stole a 50 quid note

    20 odd years ago a thieving ******* of a glazer stole a 50 quid note

    I had left on the window-sill the day he came to fit my new double glazing windows.Now,remember 50 quid years ago would be worth about 52 quid these days and boy did I accuse/curse and vilify the stinking ****.All of which he denied of course.
    Skip forward to this morning when my new glazer was fitting new windows and found said 50 tucked in between the window frame and the wall.
    Mea culpa awimb mea culpa

    It must be one of those old A4 sized ones, when money was proper imo.
    'Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
    But different than the day before'

    'Met a dwarf that was no good, dressed like Little Red Riding Hood'

    'Now you're unemployed, all non-void
    Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd'

    How terribly sad
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    I'm going to send the young fella down to shop for a Magnum to see if it's still even legal tender

    Ask a Scotch, they're always very up on what is legal tender. On account of their lifelong battle to convince people Scotch Pounds are the same as sterling.

    Used to get this **** when returning to North London after the celebration of Xmas in the mother land. No **** would touch the old NI sterling notes.
