Southern softie I'm afraid. Not the proper stuff I grew up watching.

Crown green looks deceptively easy, it isn't as I've found out. No slacks, pipe and flat cap for me yet. lol
My older brother plays for a local team he is left-handed wins most of his games - on a crown green bowling league - I played the game when younger its all about knowing the layout of the crown on each Bowling green ....
…..went a bit further than the £ coin.

I had one of these that took 50p in my student digs. I was astonished how quickly 50p was consumed. Back then it should have been 10 units, but i reckon i only got half that. It was my first introduction, as an innocent youth, that big corporations actually had the gall to charge the poor (ie those people who had cash meters) far, far more for energy than the rest. Utterly unconcionable and evil. It set me up to a future of dispising free market economics, big corporations and capitalism.
Found those absolutely hypnotising as a kid. And I don't think there's ever been a more satisfying click/clunk than putting the money in them.
