The Cheapskate In Me Has Won

[mrs_overall]

One of the bands I always wished I had seen back in the day is Fleetwood Mac. As they are touring this year, I decided to treat Mr O and I to tickets to see them....right up to the minute I saw the ticket prices. The Yorkshire in me came to the fore and I decided that a three figure sum for one ticket was outrageous.
I have just discovered that a Fleetwood Mac tribute band is playing in Whitby in April, and the tickets cost £14. I might even treat him to a bag of chips afterwards.

"Back in the day"? I am hearing this more and more. Is it an Americanism? Sorry to be changing the subject.

it is an Americanism, dave.

dave50, I always think "back in the day" sounds much better than "when I was a lad"
Not that I ever was a lad....just in case a rumour should start on here

Oz & murray...great clips. Thanks x
