I well remember them. I still have a Shaefer ball point pen, and a stainless steel tankard I got from them. I also got a baby carry cot, and a Leather (cardboard) briefcase. Both survived for quite some time.

I can't remember the artist who came to our local folk club, "The Lions Den" in Stevenage in the 60's and sang this song about them but it's always stuck in the back of my mind.


Greenstamps (Greeensleeves)

There were two girls of ill repute
One was ugly the other was cute
The cute one gave you the time of your life
And the other one gave out Green Stamps

Green Stamps were all she gave
Green Stamps were all I got
Green Stamps were all I saved
Then I went to the cute one and cashed the lot.


Cheers
