Half a Crown
Long ago when I was very little a tall man with a white beard and wearing a black flannel suit gave me Half a Crown! It was my mother’s paternal granddad, Mr Bright. He was a builder, and like all his family spoke with a strong Wiltshire accent. I never saw my Great Granddad again, but I will always remember the time he gave a very little boy a precious Half Crown.
