				I remember reading earlier this year that about half the Premier League teams charge the parents of kids that are used as mascots going out with the team at kick-off.
Want your kid to walk out with West Ham?  That will be ?600.  Every little bit helps!  Unbelievable.

				When I was a kid we had a thing called a Junior Gunners membership. It cost ?5 for the season. This allowed you go get in the ground for a ?1. You used to get a newsletter every quarter, birthday and xmas cards, a signed photo of your favourite player, plus a few other bits and bobs. Also they used to randomly select a Junior gunner to be a mascot for free!

				Blimey, I thought we were about the same age. You must be 20 years if not more older than me. Funny how the tiniest of things cheer me up.

				Yes, of course I have had a sheltered life which has resulted in my having little or no knowledge of everyday life as you spotted.
I was a monk in one of the closed orders for about 40 years which helped to keep me young.  Had to leave though when I developed an allergy to incense.

You weren't forced out by your penchant for altar boys then?

				No.
I was found to be spending too much time reading the rubbish on here.   That and the incense allergy of course.

				Well, I suppose at your vast age there's not much else left for you. Reading The People's Friend and putting your teeth in Steradent are probably the highlights of your day ? that and waiting for Countdown to come on.
