I went in the village shop last night, to get a snack as was going to be working late, whilst I was there I realised I had a lottery ticket that had been in my coat pocket for a couple of weeks.
I asked the maid who was doing the till to check it in the machine, 30 quid!
Paid for the snack and 25 quid cash out the till aswell, result.  |

Why oh why are people still playing the national lottery!!!
Camalot have been ripping the nation off for years. And those trapped with the same numbers I feel sorry for as they dare not leave.
Play the Irish lotto at William Hill, it' £1 a line, and only 47 numbers (as opposed to about 60 with national).
It's called 'Bet for a million'. You can't win any more than a million, but really, is that so bad?!! |

"Another ticket is £2.50 and freddos are probably up to about £3 now, sadly. 
Oh, I thought they were £2. So you don't get your original stake back? So you actually lost 10p?"
Yeah it's been £2.50 for a good few years now. |

I do lucky dip, so always one step ahead of Camelot
Plus, £1m wouldn't be enough to sustain my extravagant lifestyle. |

I have a habit of writing the way I speak.
In these parts young women, that would be any woman under about 35ish, are oft referred too as maid.
If I was speaking to a friend and enquiring what there youngest daughter was doing now, I may well say something along the lines of, “wos yer youngest maid uptoo now? “ |

Haha this is true. I found it really odd when I moved to the West Country. It’s a bit like lass up north. |
