I remember hearing 'something for the weekend sir?' as a kid, most times when I was in Stans barbers, up the steps at Gleadless townend, 60s/70s.

Did you think he meant the Airfix model kits?

i remember as a young lad i often had walks up rivelin with my Granddad and the first time i saw a condom later to be known as a " johnny" i asked him what it was, he briefly filled me in about the birds and the bees but none of it made ant sense at the time so i asked him what that bit on the end was for,with a wry smile he said " thats for puttin thi foot on when tha takes it off".

Later that day i heard him tell my nan all about it she giggled and said "i should be so bloody lucky".
