Penny for the guy? Remember when you'd hear that shouted at you by some mucky-faced little oik blocking your way out of a shop doorway in the run-up to Bonfire Night? It was money for old rope - or rags - for the kids round our way, who'd fill a couple of old jumpers with newspaper and old clothes and tie a pair of pants to it in a vague effort to make it look like Guy Fawkes, and then they'd pounce on you for cash as you tried to sneak past them! They'd then race to the shops and buy bangers and rip-raps which they'd take great delight in throwing at you! Ah, the good old days ..
This shot, with perfect timing, is one of the new submissions I'm sending today to the Mary Evans Picture Library, which represents my collection in London.
Let's hope it makes some pennies for this guy!..
