@TheSimonEvansX@northumbriana The “coupon man” used to call last at our house with all his change, which my Dad would swap for notes. It saved the old man having to pay the bank for coins for his shop. That’s a big Friday memory for me, as I often had the job of counting the change.
@asherperlman@TheSimonEvansX Ha. My brother-in-law once told me his great grandfather built up a business and his grandfather spent his inheritance, so when his father built up a new business he felt it his duty to follow the pattern.
@TheSimonEvansX A sad and lovely read. To think I've seen you perform since. I don't know how you managed it but, as ever, it was life affirming as well as funny. Respect to you and both your parents.
