Forgot about that event when you'd be sat in the bar with someone who had had their radio stuck to their ear relaying the racing results. Mark off the first three or four and pass the paper around. |

Getting a free pack of chewing gun on the 4th turn on a chewing gum machine (you never knew which was the 4th turn when you would be given an extra pack for free along with the one you had already paid for)
Collectors of 60's /70's slot machines will know this fact.Gambling was hidden in these type of vending/amusement machines at that time ,That;s where you get the bars in fruit machines.The bars represent chewing gum. |

getting paid out in brass tokens when you won the jackpot at the local arcade.
You could exchange the tokens for food or gifts.That's when the government cared about people. |

Perish that thought immediately that there might be any money-laundering going on amongst the utter explosion in Culturally-Enriching Barber Shops up and down this compliant land. Couldn't possibly be going on. NINE of a certain well-known type have opened in a town not too far from here this last year or so. Hair has never been in such profitable hands. |
