Nice one, Tony; good on you, mate. There's nothing like a cheeky buy to bring a smile to your face. I had mine last Sunday... £5 each:

CLR 1a.jpgCLR 1b.jpg

Cheers,

JT

Tony,

The VERY cheeky b*gger I was with managed, by considerably more than a country mile, to pull off an even cheekier buy than mine. I'm hoping he might make himself known and reveal the extent his bare-faced cheek ran to last weekend. Needless to say, you would hardly recognise him through the copious amounts of very sweet jam he was dripping in!

Much more pleasure ( in my opinion) finding the occasional bargain than always paying top dollar for items, even those you really want.

P.B.

A nice find. I agree that it's nice to find a bargain rather than the overpriced ones that you see all too often.

https://www.cultmancollectables.com/...rite-cap-badge - too pricey for my tastes.

What can you get for £3 these days, you would struggle to actually get a good pint for that and you get to keep the badge long after the beer is drunk!
