it cost seven pence old money to get in to the athelstan cinema on a saturday afternoon
for which you saw
1. the trailers
2. if you were lucky, a western in colour starring james stewart or roy rogers or whoever ...
3. a serial, most of which were black and white pre-war stuff like flash gordon, and all of which ended with the clash of cymbals and the same words every time ...
"see next week's exciting episode !"

That's almost enough for a pint in the Dukes.
that would be a pint for you and a bag of crisps for her ?
I'm just envious that you had a cinema named Athelstan.
it was built to entertain the american military in the months before d-day ... and named after a king of wessex whose tomb may or may not be in malmesbury abbey which is right next door
