Billy Morris under the floorboards
I'm doing some work at home and was messing under the floorboards when I discover a few old album cards, among them was this guy.

I wish I could say I don't remember the money, but sadly ... half a crown a week pocket money if I behaved

As a young lad I dug a pool for a local lady as requested by my Mum. I was given a nice new ten shilling note for my effort. I seem to remember it was a brown? Felt like I'd won the lottery! My mother, dear of her, insisted I should return the cash. Fortunately for me the lady insisted I kept my earnings and all was resolved to mutual satisfaction. Funny I remember that but can't seem to find my glasses.
