it's as dark as midnight out there, who forgot to put a shilling in the meter

Crafty, a shilling, you don't know you were born, I had to make a farthing last me 5 years.

[emmie]

it was a childrens game, and a good one as i recall.

[emmie]

You must have gone to a posh school, Craft, or you're a bloody sight younger than you pretend to be. My mother complained bitterly when school dinners went up from 9d to 10d, telling me that I would have to come home for my dinner from hereon as she couldn't afford that kind of extravagance.
