thanks to everyone for your answers, boy it takes you back ---- Champion the Wonder Horse, the Scarlet Horseman, Don Winslow of the Navy.
We used to pay 9 pence [ in old money] to sit upstairs because the 9 pennies used to throw their ice lolly sticks [ and other missiles] down on the unfortunate sixpennies below.

You've made my day
