hi cappy
now thats a cracker as at that age it was always in ones hand and you where always looking for something to do with it, well at least i was,
many years later i was in the pictures with a girl and i had mine in a bag of dolly mixtures and i asked her to take her pick, you could hear the screams all over the picture house.
as for the pigeon fancier he went on to stab and kill a couple of people,
