Good evening,
Demolition gang member no 4 (age 6) was both bored and skint. He needed sweets he said. So he got a pile of paper, some plain, some patterned. He folded them all lengthwise zigg zagg style. Wrapped a piece of sellotape around one end and splayed the other end out.
He then took an old storage basket, an empty gravy granule pot which he covered in plain paper. He then took the lot out to the front fence and put them on display. Along with a sign saying "FANS FOR SALE" They were 5p for a plain one, 20p for a patterned one. Daughter went out and bought a patterned one and gave him 25p.
A little later he rushed indoors with a huge smile on his face and said he had sold 2 more plain fans.
Two people had come along and, obviously impressed with his entrepreneurship, gave him a FIVER each. I hate to think what they would have paid for a patterned one.
So with the 50p I gave him for a special edition red one for Grandma he made £10.75.
To top it all, he made it onto "Spotted Crawley", a facebook page for people to post things good, bad or strange on.
