Local Dad Forced To Give Up Leather Tri-Fold Wallet He’s Cradled Tightly Since 2003

A local Dad is in mourning this weekend as he bids farewell to his most prized possession, which he regularly can’t find because he’d left it in his glovebox or down in the back shed.

After 22 years of tightly cradling his trusty leather tri-fold wallet from Florsheim, The Advocate understands 59 year old Graham Gazman received an ultimatum from his wife this week, that it’s finally time to let his old wallet go.

After decades of using the same wallet which was given to him for Christmas back in 2003, it’s believed Graham’s been told to transfer all his cards into a new one, given that all the stitching has come free and the leather shows mould from years of contact with dark lagers, sausage sizzle grease and WD-40.

Sitting down at the kitchen dining table, the contents of his wallet laid out before him, Graham was seen meticulously sorting through all of the old credit cards, receipts and unused gift vouchers, which he could never understand how to cash in at his local Mitre 10.

“I don’t know about this, the wallet I’ve got at the moment is fine!” Graham cried, as he inspected an old Video Ezy membership card, a relic of simpler days.

“Yeah it’s got some scratches on it, but good leather always wears well!”

After years of pandering to her husband to update it, The Advocate understands wife Julie placed a rather strict ultimatum on her spouse, to “Either start using the new wallet I gave you or I’ll chop up your bank cards!”

“I’ve gone to David Jones and bought him new options, a tri-fold one from Van Heusen, another from Rodd and Gunn and even one of those slim sexy card holders.”

“You watch though, he’ll complain that there’s no room for all nine of his bank cards, four of which are expired, and two are from a local bank that closed down four years ago.”

More to come.
