penny for them.......

It has been mentioned before how when Sunny & I get together we have uncontrolable fits of laughter.
When I was 'sorting' the other day I came across things that reminded me of another occasion when this happened.
Sunny had come up for a weekend and we decided to visit our old stomping ground of Southport.

It wasn't a pleasant weekend, weather wise, but that did not deter us from hiking up the pier to take in some fresh sea air. At the end of Southport Pier is a coffee shop and a
'Victorian Penny Arcade'.
It is great. You change your shiny new 10 pences for grubby old pennies. Not a bad return if you calculate from this site the value of a penny in 1900 to what it would be worth today (well 2003 to be precise as that is when the report was done). If my maths is correct (& I wouldn't hold too much hope there) it would be equivalent to £78.68. I guess if they charged that type of money no one would play!!

Of special interest was Gypsy Rosie Lee who read your palm after you placed your hand on a copper plate. Uncanny results....... same palm image but different readings and so accurate as to mine and Sunny's personalities

Mine

Sunny's

Next were 'Notes from your lover' ... hysterical

I just want to know where the large sum of money from Grandpa went & how did either of let the man escape that turned 'me into an animal, crazy with lust!' ... drat!

Maybe it was this chap with the amazing snake ... although it looks a bit wooden don't you think?

After a few games of wooden pinball, 'What the Butler Saw' & flipping metal balls into holes it was ........'Who will be your next love?'
All excited we found our last two pennies. Fighting to get to the slot like a couple of kids, we awaited anxiously for the news........

So Sunny does the one on the right remind you of anyone?

That night in a club she was pursued by a bloke who bore an uncanny resemblance to the mystical fortune card she had received earlier that day!!!

Remind me Sunny where did you tell him you were emigrating to????
