Remember your mums divi number

Recommended Posts

66777

double 6 treble 7 dead easy to remember Oddly enough I can remember my mum's number but can't remember mine. Maybe because they changed to those vile tasting co-op stamp things that you had to stick in the book....1 million stamps = £1 or therabouts.

And remember the yellow milk tokens and Lol the milkman on Wordsworth avenue in the 70's

I remember our number and the next door neighbors

They come in handy for passwords sometimes.

I also remember standing inline at the Mount Tabor church to get the dividend
