For those of you who know Peter in the shop, he’s good with his money and always keen to raise a smile or two.

Can’t promise it will save you money, but it will certainly bring a smile to a face or two.

If you would like to contact the author, Steve Silk, he’s a charming chap and I am sure will warmly receive any questions along the way. His email address is sanddsilk@btinternet.com
