Re: £10 To Invest
So it isn’t an urban myth.
Much obliged for the link entwisi.
When I was at school and yes they did have school in those dark days and we used paper and not a slate, there was the craze of firing paper pellets from an elastic band stretched between fingers.
I would buy a packet of 20 or 30 elastic bands from Woolworths for about 6d and sell the suitable (about half the packet) ones for 1d. The smaller ones I would link together and sell then also. I would make about one shilling and six pence on a packet of elastic bands, one shilling for me and six pence to buy another packet. Words like rope, old and money would have come to mind.
It even got to the stage when I could sell the paper pellets (10 for a penny) that I made because my method produced superior pellets that flew truer than the standard folded ones. They also hurt more when striking a taught rear end as someone bent over.
