Am I right in remembering that there were little pink slips of paper that one had to stick on a sheet? I remember the Co-Op at the corner of Sparth Road and Lower Barnes St., across from the Forts. My grandad used to wrap shopping money in a piece of paper and pin it in the inside of my jacket so that I wouldn't lose it. One time the money was a five pound note

... one of the old ones ... I was informed, in no uncertain terms, that if I lost, it my death would be long and painful
