Looking back at forgotten bolton clarion snippets.

Just like that.

Went to pick up, as I thought, a couple of old style club jerseys from Dave at the hospital. Dave took me to his car and in the back was a familiar looking large shopping bag, from this he produced another bag. From the other bag he produced a club top, full of signatures by those attending his big fiftieth birthday ride, then out came a climbing shoe followed by, wait for it….  a bag of bulbs, the ones for the garden, sprouting and ready to grow. Tommy Cooper made a fortune producing bizarre stuff from a bag…just like that, haw haw haw.
Just how do we get from picking up a couple of tops to a packet of bulbs, with a fez and a little magic wand no doubt.
The next trick was even better, for years I had this large shopping bag in various rooms about the house and was glad to hand over the keeping of the bag and jerseys to someone else.
Dave deftly handed the bag to me, complete with several tops, I was once again stuck with the bag and contents. How neat a trick was that?
