It wasn't long before it became 4 for a penny but by that time my parents had a shop so I didn't have to buy them.
I've no idea why it bothered me so much, I was only 4 and it's not like I was having to earn the money. I think that was the first time I realised the world wasn't fair. I can still remember feeling the anger at the irrationality 60 years later.

Someone down the road used to lend me the Victor annuals (Alf "Tupper of the Track" the most memorable character with his favourite faggot and chips tea). My parents would only pay for a Look & Learn subscription - all very worthy and educational but only had the Trigan Empire cartoon regularly. Although, they did a cartoon version of Macbeth which I still remember and came in handy to get me up to speed when it was one of the set readings for O level English.
