The Moneyless Chicken

Our grocer had butter and cheese on a ? marble slab. He cut them with wire then shaped the butter with wooden butterpats. There was also a bacon slicer and boxes of biscuits with lift up lids - the one at the end had cheaper broken biscuits and , if you were lucky, there'd be a chocolate one in your bag.

Helen used to work in a shop which had the biscuits with lift up lids and a broken biscuit box. When pensioners came in asking for broken biscuits and there werent any she used to bash a few about to make sure there was!
