Talking money, and values. One winter's night in the early fifties, I was on a spot of leave. On this particular night I was on a date with a young lady, and we went into the Cherry Gardens for a drink. On asking her what was it that she wanted to drink, she replied, a brandy, and baby sham. Money was very tight, but I did the honours. After, she said. "That did warm me" I replied. "It should have done, it cost more than a bag of coal."
