What you done but reckon no other LBr has?

Oh, I have another one:

  • Still have my First Holy Communion money.

Friends and family give children making their first Communion small tips (increasingly obscenely large tips these days, but in my day it was a few bob). My parents, thinking this would be a good life lesson, insisted I open a Post Office savings account and wouldn’t let me spend it.

Through all my childhood it sat there. When I started earning my own money in my mid teens I completely forgot about it. Years later I found the pass book. By then it was worthless in monetary value (£6) but worth more as a story. So I still have my Communion money.

And anyone who says you should start saving early is wrong. That £6 was a fortune to a seven year old. Spend and enjoy now while you can.

You forgot to add “blown up a bike on the TT course”

Money like that is sometimes best put into a fund… Treat it as lost and then when you are 35, you will have a nice rainy day fund so if you decide to tell an employer to fuck off (or if they tell you this), you have a buffer…

That’s what I’m doing with mine :wink:

Err. You reckon no other LBr has done this? What about me and Sue? We even had the vegetarian lunch.

(I have photos somewhere, not of the vegetarian lunch or the peeing but evidence of going in for a swim)

I caddied for Roald Dhal in the early 70’s and I’ve played 18 holes of golf with Ron “Chopper” Harris in the early noughties. I didn’t really know who RD was at the time but me being a life long Chelsea fan that round with chopper was a blast.
