I remember when I was a young man about nineteen we had a boy worked with us doing deliveries he was about fifteen and was desperate to grow a moustache.He didn't have the strength ,then one day someone pointed him to an advert in one of the national newspapers .The advert stated that if anyone unable to grow a moustache would send of £1.00 and try their new formula which guaranteed they would have a moustache within three to four weeks.
The poor lad duly sent of his £1.00 and the little bottle of liquid arrived with the clearest of instructions .He was to apply a drop or two of this to the bald spot and rub furiously every morning and night.After a few days passed he would stare each morning hopefully in front of the mirror and constantly ask us in turn if we could see an improvement.Some of us were honest and said we could not others tried to make him feel better and encouraged him half heartedly saying the could definately see something sprouting were once their was just baldness.He tried it as per instructions and within two weeks a little parcel arrived in the post with a false moustache they had kept their word and he had indeed a moustache within the alloted time span Alistair
