"We had the fishing club, which had somebody else run it but I was the secretary o’ that as well. And, eh, we used to have a monthly outing, to Loch Leven or Loch Fittie, and to go there we used to sell football tickets, we used to do football tickets, we used to sell them for about five pence or ten pence I think it was for a ticket. Maybe about thirty, thirty, chances to win something on it. And we used to sell them maybe on the shift. And that’s how we got our money to pay for our, em, trips to Loch Leven ‘cos they’re quite expensive."
