…..thinking back, must’ve been a huge security risk with so much cash on the premises.

The corpy held quite a bit of money in the office back then, rate and rent receipts etc which many citizens paid in cash. Very large safe to hold it all.

The factory I worked at one of the Security Guards always came round with the girl from the cash office when she was dishing the wages out.

Anyone remember this game in the 1960s - the clamps to hold it on your mothers best table left a terrible mark after a few games - she went mad -

Fond memories - only came out on special occasions but the fam all took part as they were mostly followers of the Geegees! Made quite a racket as well as the damaging clamps. Brilliant idea though mechanically.

Remember my older brother & late father making these - they were lethal old pram wheels etc no drill hole for the steering made with a red hot poker off the coal fire & a bolt that always worked loose & no brakes - going down hill lethal - -

We had it a lot at home, I liked it.
Do they still sell it?
Was it an actual tongue?
Don't eat much meat now, usually only chicken.

….think I might have tried it as kid but didn’t like it but I’d be quite sure it’s actually tongue.

I reckon you’d still get it in a market butchers, I loved sweetbread from testicles but rarely see it these days although had it a few times recently in a very nice Turkish Hotel we visit.
