Easter Sunday with the
undergrad back home, and the weather not yet raining, we took a short drive
over to Seaton Carew for a walk along the prom and a session on the slot
machines to use up our stock of 2p pieces accumulated over the year, which
predictably soon disappeared into the shuffling piles of copper with only an
occasional dribble coming out of the business end, however in a new (to us)
development the machines randomly shot out tickets that could be then fed into
another machine, that in turn printed out a receipt that could then be
exchanged for ‘prizes’; also predictably our tickets broke the machine, but in
fixing it the operative handed over more than we had put in, representing our
only profit on the afternoon – sufficient to ‘win’ us a fudge bar each.
