It has to be said that we don't often splurge on a scratch card, but yesterday when out and about with his beloved niece and nephew, Eric suddenly had a funny sort of feeling in his water that he should chance his luck.
He said Iris could choose the type of card and then let Bertie scratch it when they go back home.
Let's just say that the excitement that thronged Snake Mountain was palpable, if not just a bit tangible to boot, as young Master Bertie rubbed away with his 10p coin.
Then, amidst a much incredulity, checking once, twice, thrice, then four times, they found they'd won the heady sum of £4 by having two matching watches!
There followed much debate as to how to use said winnings when Eric went to collect it. In the end they decided to put it safely in the Dawlish holiday fund .........
........ to change into two pots of 2p's at the arcade, giving Iris and Bertie £2 each, then they'd have a competition to see if anyone could increase their allotted sum by even more!
Oh my goodness, heaven help us all!

Let's hope all the 2p's do well, in Dawlish. Especially the Penny Falls.
