The government promises to buy back the bond, on request, for its original price. They were introduced by Harold Macmillan in his 1956 budget. (Wikipedia) Everyone is always hoping Ernie will cough up their numbers but you have to hold huge amounts of bonds as the ods are stacked against you.<br /><br />It’s amazing that your Ernie keeps being ‘coughed up’ though.

Believe me, I stand there for a few hours just stacking and sorting so I grab the Ernie shots when I find them. These days I'm finding more of his little girl which shows the trailer they lived in.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-73036826318598799092011-12-17T15:14:33.809-11:002011-12-17T15:14:33.809-11:00The thing I love about that picture is the stuffed...The thing I love about that picture is the stuffed dog watching the people.<br /><br />I wonder why the Ernie pictures aren't all together.Postcardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16399915833682943432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-36749363072619275202011-12-17T10:43:07.439-11:002011-12-17T10:43:07.439-11:00Bond.
