'You went back after a month and cashed in your money!'
Sean remembers with affection a Christmas club he cashed out too early.
I remember when I was a wee boy, there was a chemist's shop where I lived, and it was owned by a man called Ernie Taylor. Every Christmas Ernie would put a great display of Christmas presents. You would all gather outside to look at the presents. There would be guns and toys and whatnot. There would be an offer to 'Join our Christmas Club now!' So if you ever got any money鈥攎aybe it was your birthday or whatnot鈥攁nd you had two bob (10p for the younger ones) or half a dollar, you would open an account with Ernie, and pay in your two bob... but you never ever got that gun. Because you went in after a month and cashed your money because you wanted sweets!"
With music from John Prine, Mike Oldfield, Olivia Newton John, and more.
