:shock: Sorry my spalling is apelling,, Mean,t Pawn Shop :roll: (Gotcha :wink: )
BUT seeing as your here now you might as well have a peek
It was a usual "Threadbare Thursday" Mother pressing Dads suit, damp brown paper sizzling under the flat iron,creases could cut your fingers,, Sighing (As they did) Mom said "Johnie, run this to ( that) shop for me, tell him Five bob will do, Then get some bread & eggs on way home, mind the road".
Big flash car outside "that shop" noticed the brass balls reflecting in the polished paintwork, even "More Flashy geezer" inside the shop arguing money over aaaahem Articles Galore,,,The Guy froze as I popped in,,,the Pawnbroker quickly said " Eh,, ok,, he,s a local lad, one of my Regulars, no probs,alright"
I quietly leaned my little runny nose on the baize counter & waited,, 3 monkey style..
Their deal was done, goods over to back shelves & Big Wads of notes in neat piles on the counter,,,Just then a faint breeze seemed to lift a note silently,gentle as a Butterfly avoiding the Mans elbow slowly to the floor,,
My "Mail" boots two sizes too big came in useful just then,,,,, Whoosh HE went, monies swept up, car revved & away ,,, 5 bob & ticket for Dads suit & Whoosh,, I nearly caught the car up
Mom was pleased with the £5 (After a grilling- no steal etc) & said "Serves the Flash Bugger right"
Mom also said "hush" from your Dad,,Johnie,, have the 5 Bob & take your sisters to the pictures on Saturday, then We all had Fish & Chips that Evening,, :lol:
