The purse contained a single five pence piece, an old Tesco Clubcard, and a faded Tesco receipt for a bottle of Lucozade which cost 46p
Mrs Bowes said: “I woke up to a number of social media messages. To start off with I was so confused. It’s so funny that my old purse has caused such interest on social media. I am so surprised that it’s been returned to me after so long. What a blast from the past.
The old purse contained an old Tesco Clubcard, a receipt for a 46p bottle of Lucozade, a £25 cashback receipt, alongside a few other cards. “I remember the night I lost it, I was so gutted – I had the whole pub turning over cushions hunting for it. When it couldn’t be found, I realised it must have been stolen while I went to the ladies. I hope whoever took the money out of my purse had a good night.man Tommy Newlove lent me some money, as I had no cash or cards for the weekend. I ended up having to sell my leather jacket to pay him back because I couldn’t draw any cash out.
“It is so strange to see this dusty old wallet after so long, and very amusing seeing that I could buy a bottle of Lucozade for 46p. I wish it was still that price.”
