You&#8217;d love him Rodders with  your GCE in Art, he could clone Haywain&#8217;s Sunflowers Inky could! Flawless &#8211;  you&#8217;d never know. Undetectable. \u00a0Where is your dad these days Brian?<br \/>\nBrian:  Wormwood Scrubs.<br \/>\nRodney: Blimey, I&#8217;d be interested will I? As an art  background, it&#8217;s hardly the Ufizzi is it?<br \/>\nTrigger: What&#8217;s soft drinks got  to do with Inky?<br \/>\nRodney: Eh?<br \/>\nBrian: No, it&#8217;s tough these days Rodney,  forgery&#8217;s more and more difficult. Advanced technology, the readies these days,  scanners and the like, dad was caught passing funny money; twelve month ago.<br \/>\nDel: Banknotes?<br \/>\nBrian: No, luncheon vouchers.<br \/>\nDel: Blimey, bootleg  luncheon vouchers? Is there such a trade?<br \/>\nBrian: (Smiles) Not really Del but  you can&#8217;t say we don&#8217;t eat well!<\/p>\n<p>All laugh.<\/p><div class=\"d7386eeb5bdcd2f43c1295b58ceaf130\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:5px 0 5px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ofah2-response -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1609637348681190\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"5593259115\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Trigger: You  should have seen the tenners old inky used to knock out Rodney.<br \/>\nRodney:  Good?<br \/>\nDel: Good! You couldn&#8217;t extinguish it from a real one. Mum and Dad used  to launder them for him, pass them off in the pubs and clubs.<br \/>\nBrian: Well  that&#8217;s what I wanted to see you about?<br \/>\nDel: What passing dodgy money? No  sorry Brian, too dangerous these days!<br \/>\nBrian: No, no, nothing like that Del.  It&#8217;s about the laundering from the bank your Dad did in 1966.<br \/>\nDel: (Confused)  Sorry Brian, you&#8217;ve lost me.<br \/>\nBrian: May 1966 he said, you&#8217;re dad had a  contact in a sub-branch down the road there. Over three months they swapped  sixty thousand pounds. They split the profits 50-50.<br \/>\nRodney: Blimey, thirty  grand each!<br \/>\nDel: \u00a0Well we never saw none of it. Dad must&#8217;ve pissed it all  away. Up west, sipping champers with some old bow-wow knowing him!<br \/>\nBrian: No  Del, they never spent it, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m here for.<br \/>\nDel: What do you mean  they never spent it?<br \/>\nBrian: All the notes they swapped at the bank, they were  all marked. Fivers and tenners back then were at lot easier traced.\u00a0\u00a0Dad reckons  the plan was to sit on them for a few years before Laundering them.<br \/>\nDel: Well  how come he&#8217;s not been back to collect his share?<br \/>\nTrigger: Brian just told us  Del, they&#8217;re waiting till it&#8217;s a bit less dodgy.<br \/>\nRodney: Bloody hell Trig,  eighteen years! It would have been safe long before now!<br \/>\nBrian: We thought it  had gone Del. Look, no offence but dad reckoned your old man run off with the  lot in the late sixties.<br \/>\nRodney: What and he reckons the old git took all the  money with him then?<br \/>\nDel: Yeah, I wouldn&#8217;t put it past him.<br \/>\nBrian:  Well nor did my Dad, when he heard he&#8217;d done a runner he assumed he&#8217;d taken the  loot with him.<br \/>\nDel: Well that&#8217;s that then.<br \/>\nBrian: No, not at all. Look  listen Del, this might come as a bit of a shock to you but your dad&#8217;s in the  scrubs as well.<br \/>\nDel: Dad&#8217;s in the scrubs?<br \/>\nBrian: Sorry mate.<br \/>\nDel: Oh,  don&#8217;t be sorry Brian. Best place for him!<br \/>\nBrian: Well anyway, when my Dad  bumped into him he pressed your dad for his share of the money. Turns out that  it&#8217;s still hidden.<br \/>\nRodney: What you mean the money&#8217;s still about?<br \/>\nDel: No,  don&#8217;t listen to it Rodney, it&#8217;s another one of dad&#8217;s Jackanory tales. He&#8217;d have  had that money away long ago.<br \/>\nBrian: No, he said he had to leave it  behind.<br \/>\nDel: It&#8217;d still be gone by now. He came back here last year, you  remember Rodney. He&#8217;d have had it away then.<br \/>\nBrian: That&#8217;s not what he  said. He said he went to get the money but he never got the opportunity.<br \/>\nDel: Never got the opportunity?<br \/>\nRodney: He was with us for ages though  weren&#8217;t he Del.<br \/>\nDel: Yeah! He&#8217;d have had every opportunity?<br \/>\nBrian: I  dunno, dad pressed him on it but he clammed up, reckoned my dad would double  cross him if he knew where it was. Having heard the story I thought you might  know, we&#8217;d split it with you.<br \/>\nDel: No sorry Brian. (Looks to clarify) No,  honestly, straight. That&#8217;s the first I&#8217;ve heard of it just then.<br \/>\nRodney:  Maybe Grandad might know something.<br \/>\nDel: Yes, good thinking Rodney! You off  anywhere Brian?<br \/>\nBrian: No, I&#8217;m in no rush Del.<br \/>\nDel: Right, ok you lot,  let&#8217;s get these drinks down us and go back to the flat and ask Grandad now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/forging-ahead-part-6\/\">On to part 6<\/a><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofah.net\/blog\/forging-ahead-part-5\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" src=\"\" class=\"alignright wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>Forging Ahead part 5 FORGING AHEAD by Jimmy Connerly (based on an idea by Rico) scene 2 continued Rodney: Del, this is Brian&#8230;..
