I'll call in at the sweet shop down Serpentine Road and stock up with gob-stoppers and liquorice sticks before boarding the Midland Red Special - fare: 3 shillings and thruppence! - parked on The Serpentine car park for the arduous journey back to Tamworth.
For me it was always the sweet shop outside Wylde Green station spending the loose change I used to find in my grandmother's drawers (no, not those drawers). Sherbert fountains, gobstoppers, black jacks, fruit salads and Hobo banana split chews. And some lemon bonbons for good measure.
Will my voucher on the back of the programme get me a Cup Final ticket?
