Now that you have got me going, I must tell you of yet another incident .
It was when the Americans were billeted over here in Glasgow at Abbotsinch Airlield near Paisley.
Anyway they loved their movies as you will no doubt be aware .
But the only time they had off was on a Sunday.
At that time it was against the law for a cinema to open for profit ,so a well known Glasgow eccentric named A.E.Pickard ,who owned the Norwood Cinema in St Georges Road used to open it to everyone for what he called 'a silver collection' .just put some silver into a tub for charity.
It was tailor made for we young fly guys .
We used to take an old farthing and cover it in silver foil to pretend it was sixpence ,throw it in the tub and made our way into the cinema.But dont tell anyone .
Tell me when to stop.
