And being the youngest of 6 kids - it was always my job ! Not as bad as getting coal though or getting sent to the shop for milk or fags I used to go get Dad's fags from the local shop - 20 piccadilly - in the days when shops sold fags to 8 year old girls no questions asked. And also in the days when an 8 year old going to a shop a mile or so from home was normal and safe. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
