How's this for an offer from Marshalls

£14.95 each

For One Raspberry cane?


No. It's for the rare Etruscan pot.


I remember buying 10 or 12 raspberry canes for 2/3 in Woolworths but
that was long ago!
I also remember compliaining to a fish and chip man in Penzance that a
cod lot was 2/3 also and only 1/9 at home! That was also in the dim
and distant past!

For the benefit of the youngsters in the group who don't remember pre
decimal days
2/3d is about 11p
1/9d is about 9p
