Bli'me, Joe, this didn't half bring back the memories!
I actually read this one rainy school dinner time during the sixties.
Nowadays Lady P'd be the name of an online specialist porn site, of course, but even then as pre-teens it produced plenty of guffaws.
You've also unveiled a family scandal I knew nothing of until this moment.
There's an advert for a Man from U.N.C.L.E. kit, which I actually got for Christmas at the time. It was brilliant. It had all kinds of things in the special spy type briefcase, (modelled, I suspect on the Man in a Suitcase TV show), including a little white plastic 'radio' which you could snap open and take out a little silver gun that actually somehow fired an aluminium bullet.
Foolishly, though, I demonstrated this to a crowd of my disbelieving mates who were all highly impressed; but one lad, Ronny King thought I hadn't seen him snatch it from the ground, but when I tried to wrestle it off him they all joined in passing the bullet 'round each other and I never saw it again.
Now, to my horror, I realise me Mum - the devious bitch! - palmed me off for Christmas with something she got off a box of Vosene and a tube of Macleans!
that's a great story, man. verily, 'tis the stuff great childhoods are made of. I've got one pretty much the same, only mine involves a red-plastic-pellet-firing Batmobile.
