This tape measure is a very cheap one out of a Xmas Cracker...
I am making rolls of paper in tubes and am looking at various ways to finish off the end...
Time to go and search out all the tape measures...

Had to Blog this one at the end of the Easter holiday.
Found in a charity shop in Knighton (mid Wales) on our Welsh adventure..
A 1966 old penny, which cost me £2,
Really well printed..looks like it was printed on letterpress.
An old joke, but never fails to amuse me..
(in the old days you needed an old penny to gain access to a public toilet)...a time which I just about remember.
People still say if they need the loo..
"Just off to spend a penny"

A rather battered aluminium Cadbury spoon (I presume it is for hot chocolate).
Found over Easter on a boot fair at Hartford for 50 pence.
Not sure how or why it got so battered..looks like someone got angry making their bedtime drink.
