'Were they cheaper?'

Why did men prefer red head matches to the brown head matches? Ruby Murray was first put on stage by a Derry man called Mickey Kelly who ran the YP Pools.

Ruby Murray was first put on stage by a Derry man called Mickey Kelly who ran the YP Pools and who looked like Alfred Hitchcock. Sean doesn't know what YP stands for but he remembers a joke about a boy sent to the shop for a loaf of bread, a YP coupon and a box of matches where the punch line is 'YP in a box of matches'. Why did men prefer red head matches to the brown head matches? Iris says it's because you could strike them against a wall. George met Laurel and Hardy in Belfast and got a signed photo of them but it was lost over the years and George now wonders if anyone would have it? Music from John Holt, Eddy Grant, Russ Conway, Kacey Musgrave, Luke Kelly, Dusty Springfield and more.
