Tora..a Good One

[smurfchops]

Did you hear the answer to ..... the store which used to offer "nothing over sixpence"?  I won't spoil the funny answer in case you watch on catch up

[gingejbee]

Presumably not Poundland, then?

[smurfchops]

No he said something I thought was funnier ...  shall I spoil it and say?  

[barry1010]

Go on then

[wiltsman]

The store concerned was founded in 1974, sixpenny  coins were withdrawn six years later in 1980.

Hardly time for it to have as their slogan, especially as a sixpenny coin was worth two and a half new pence!

[barry1010]

Poundworld?  That was founded in 1974

[barry1010]

Primark

[Hopkirk]

My parents used to put a sixpence in the Christmas pudding.

Health and Safety wasn't invented the.

[THECORBYLOON]

Was it not Woolworth's?

[wolf63]

Woolworths

 

[barry1010]

The correct answer is Woolworths, we're trying to guess the wrong answer that the contestant gave

[naomi24]

That was a superb game!  One of the best I've ever seen. 

[barry1010]

Good game, good game 

[smurfchops]

The doctor said Primark, yes Barry you were right.  Primark!  Sixpence!  I thought that was a funny one.  And what a brilliant game!

[barry1010]

Gold star for me!

How old was the contestant? I bet nobody under 25 knows about Woolworth's 

[piggynose]

I seem to remember that was my pocket money in 1969!

[barry1010]

You had pocket money?  I didn't even have pockets 

[smurfchops]

Tora has gone very quiet ...

[barry1010]

Is he suspended?

[naomi24]

No.  He's not logged in today.  Perhaps sunning himself in sunny Southend.
