Icy poles

David used to buy icy poles from the supermarket, freeze them at home, then sell them to Roger who couldn't resist. He made enough money to keep himself in icy poles.

Rockets

In primary school David would run home along the train tracks, partly to save money and partly because if you missed the early train you had to wait a long time for the next train - it was tricky on the bridges but got easier when the line went electric. He would take the money he saved and buy 'rockets' and fire them at the cows. Had a friend - Greg Anthill - together they would tie lizards to the rockets and fire them into the air!
