When I was a young boy I developed a thing for watches, and always was amazed by a man in the local working man's club's rolex. I was about 10 I suppose when my mother used to say, never be able to afford one of them in your lifetime etc..
Well on my 18th birthday ( some 19 years ago ) I was treated to a steak and chips and some nice presents, but halfway through my birthday cake my Mum bought in a box, She had won the bingo the week before and as usual said she had a little win and spent it on the bills etc.. well inside the box was a silver and gold rolex watch which of course I still have and now only wear on special occasions. I've had brilliant jobs, and sometimes been so skint I've had to starve for a day, but in the memory of my Mum it still remains my most prized possession.
