It's almost Christmas and time to buy millions of stamps at my local Post Office.
We were discussing the recent perils faced by the firefighters tackling the fuel fires North of London. Our thoughts were with them and we were swopping yarns of how Britain's sugar supply for the month had gone up in falmes in a German air raid and how toffee was emerging into the nearby street.
A little old lady in an equally ancient sheepskin jacket pulled me to one side. "I must tell someone" getting more and more excited as jumped to almost two inches off the ground. " You look nice and honest" Poor soul, needs new specs, I thought.
" I have just won half a million pounds"
She lives alone with no family here.
Her sister lives in Australia with her two daughters.
How wonderful to think what a Christmas she will be bringing them.
