thanks Jambutty , best I ever could do was try the "8 from 10" with a 2 bob bet , looking back it must have been quite an operation to hand check each coupon , unless you were the lucky one who sent a claim in by a telegram .......wonder where they sent the telegrams from , the post offices would be shut by then (would they not ? 5 pm on a Saturaday afternoon ) .
jumping sideways , I suppose the Vernons girls were the first "spice girls" according to this wiki link they are the longest surviving girl group (hard to imagine)..
