Who did this ?

[RichardHelen262]

I don’t think I have ever cleaned as many pairs of shoes as I did in Bob a job week

 

[Pudsey Bear]

I did it when I was in the cubs, great fun but looking back we were so vulnerable as we had to arrange it all ourselves.

 

[2cv]

I did it, remember it well.

 

[The laird]

We washed cars and went for food provisions in our bob a job time

Innocent times . Not that there weren't pervs about .
Quite a clever fund raising idea

 

[Makzine]

Been there and done that a long time ago.

One of the unusual jobs I did was to get sticks from a hedge to support runner beans in a garden.

We had no garden so I had no idea what sort of sticks were required.
Come to think of it I didn't know what a runner bean was either.

I was in The 5th Pudsey Air Scouts.
The SAS of the Scouting Movement.
We wore red berets.
An old lady asked me to go to the local shop and asked me to to get 20 Players Weights..
She gave me a half Crown.
Being a trainee entrepreneur, I Gave the Bob to the scouts and wasted the remaining 7d on fish and chips.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

We paid £8 for fish and chips about 5 years ago I nearly had a heart attack.

 

[wildebus]

never did bob a job (never in the Scouts). Too busy doing stuff in order to get my own few bob as pocket money!

 

[Fazerloz]

Yes did that.14th Dewsbury. Will always remember the Blackpool Gang Show

Fast forward and call it £18 in some places now ...

That was for a take out though, absolute rip off.

 

[Wully]

Boys Brigade where I came from we had scouts for breakfast. Nice blue uniforms think it was training for Borstal or jail.

The £18 was for a take out! (not mine, btw )

That's why I'm living in exile..
I can get a Sea Bass , Chips and salad for that.

For the life of me I can't remember who mentioned this or where it was (blummin' senility!), but it was definitely from someone we know during a recent conversation this year... not London or the South East, have a vague recollection it might possibly have been one of the coastal tourist hotspots somewhere in the UK?

Anyway, you'll know it if you see it - having said that I've noticed one or two eating establishments around here lately that don't have the price of their meals etc. showing in a prominent place, or even showing at all... I always thought that was forbidden by Trading Standards? Although maybe that's just another element of recent life that's been allowed to slide down the toilet ...

my local chippy (Coldstream) has fish and chips for around £9 pp!
I used to get a bag of chips and occasionally fish supper every Monday after finishing Archery, but with the current prices, I don't do that any more
