Brilliant. I love your reading your pieces. The memories of Christmas shopping is so vivid the way you describe it. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year..
Well, you've presented me with a dilemma I never knew I had!
Unlike your cash-abundant childhood, I grew up with rationing and one was lucky to get a tangerine for Christmas and just maybe a lead toy soldier painted with fully leaded paint!

I hope there wasn’t any lead on the tangerine!!
Thanks! Yes Sim’s version is definitely the benchmark
Thankyou! Merry Christmas
A great Christmas tale!
Excellent story and worthy thoughtful ending.
Alister Sim was the ultimate Scrooge. Even to this day there is no film to match it.. Nothing like old British black and white films.
The last line priceless there is a auction item I was going to swerve tomorrow but wise words from you have prevailed
Great story ,thank you .Many thanks for all the cookery and Silver advice.
Happy Christmas to you and yours.
Utterly delightful storytelling! Your storytelling is such that I was with you every step on that journey. And a wise lesson to follow.
Merry Christmas Michael!
