#11, Is that good or bad Alf?

[alf corbyn]

I remember going to Haringey stadium to watch the circus a pantomime or an ice show. cannot ever remember a turkey until I got married and bought my own. every year we each got a smokers outfit and a stocking with fruit and nuts, but no clothes during the war, as apart from being hard to get we didn't have the coupons.

#13, Excuse my ignorance Alf, what is a 'smokers outfit'?

I remember going to Haringey stadium---the coupons.

Pantomime, now known as Parliament.

Alf a gentleman would have said 'my dear you surprise me, you have wisdom beyond your years' but it was still very gallant, but you could have changed your black stallion for a white one and when you proffered your lance she could have tied her handkerchief to it and you would have ridden forth and defeated the dastardly baron who was out to ravage her.

marian my love?. a smokers outfit was a box containing chocolate cigars. cigarettes, a licorice pipe with red bits to represent fire a hard jelly ashtray and sometimes a little packet containing a brown sweet stringy stuff to represent tobacco. the delux edition had a set of scales made of metal

What about the whip. JS
