Time to get nostalgic and remember all those childhood memories!

Oh they joys of humour. I also still have a Griffin Savers Dictionary – The definition of the word “Gay” has been crossed out, and my younger brothers name writen next to it in biro.

I still have them sealed in their polysterene cases in a cardboard box. I think they are currently worth about £200 without Wesley and £350 with him. There is also a Golden Woody that was brought out in 2006 as a competition prize Working for Natwest way back between 1988 and 1992, they did an offer where staff could buy a full set (sadly NOT including Cousin Wesley) for, I think, about £28 (roughly £45 in today’s money, apparently).

It has coped quite well considering it spent many years in my school bag and has been used a great deal. Just had a look, there is actually a market for them on Ebay... I'll keep mine thanky very much! It's main feature is that it is not a kids dictionary but a proper concise OED. I guess it must have worked as I am still banking with HSBC (formally Midland), but only because I am stuck with DD and salary that make changing my bank account more difficult than buying a house. I also had a Globe money box, I am sure it was pre griffin as I recall it had the midland logo on it, but will happily be corrected. aah, I still have and use my Griffin savers Oxford Dictionary, in fact on reading this I had to check and it was still here in my study on the window ledge.
