Not meaning to offend anyone here, just reporting.

I found a shop in Darwin Australia called Alfreds, selling hardware and novelty items, right next to an Optomotrists. Naturally I thought of Alf and I got a piccie for the album.
So I goes over to look in the window, and just above the pizza cutter is a golliwog doll with a sign 'come inside and meet the rest of the the golly family'

the missus wouldn't let me

what have you got to say for yourself Alf ?
