"THEN THEY MASH THEM ALL TO BITS..."



Oh, look - Clint Eastwood's stand-in

Here's a photo of me from 1977 with my new pal - a bendy CADBURY'S SMASH MARTIAN. I say "new", but I may have had him for quite a few months before a friend took this picture in my back garden. Although I remember the photo being taken, I didn't acquire it (or indeed even see it) until December of '78 when I was in Portsmouth to be best man at said-friend's wedding.

His marriage didn't last too long after that, and, come to think of it, neither did our friendship. However, I still have that self-same Smash Martian today, over 34 years later - in perfect condition too.

There's probably a moral in there somewhere - I'll let you figure it out for yourselves.
