[Margaret Pilkington]

I remember my Grandad buying my Gran some miniature Toby Jugs off Uncle Dick's one Christmas......Gran put them on the mantelpiece.....pride of place.
They had an 'all night burner' fire and when Gran came down to breakfast the following morning there were just three lumps of multi-coloured wax......Grandad was not impressed.....he had spent two shillings and sixpence on those toby jugs! Grandad always called him a 'spiv' after that.
