Go to a bank on Friday to take out cash to pay wages. Not all employees had bank accounts in 1976 and those that did still preferred cash weekly (after legal tax and NI deductions of course)

I was a Chief Cashier for Lloyds Bank in the late 70s - early 80s. Fridays were manic. Not only firms withdrawing sometimes large amounts of cash to pay wages, but also lots of housewives cashing a cheque to pay for the weekly shop. I used to take great delight in asking the more attractive ones "How would you like it, Madam? On one occasion, I got exactly the answer that I was fishing for. Happy days!!

Play seven byes on a Friday night in the local park. Play a never-ending "take-on" in the same park on a Sunday. Get there late and wait for another late-comer so as to get selected by a "**** or a hen"! Kid on you were Denis Law and hold your right cuff up aloft as you trotted away after you scored!
