Cash From Grandma Will Always Be Most Practical Gift Local Man Will Ever Receive

There are many practical things Greg Toad would’ve liked to have received this morning from Santa.

Perhaps an electric toothbrush or a ten-pack of socks.

Even a bag of lollies from the chemist would’ve been enough.

But put all those things aside, the most important and useful gift the 28-year-old will ever receive for Christmas comes in the form of a yellow banknote.

“She knows me too well Grandma does,” said Mr Toad.

“Grandma knows my needs. She understands that I don’t need new shirts or clothes, there’s the internet for that. I don’t need a gift voucher to Dymocks or Borders, she knows I’m barely literate as is,”

“The quickest way to my heart is through cold hard cash. I love my Grandma.”

As for what Toad plans to spend the $50 on remains a mystery.

He did, however, hint and where and when he might part ways with the ill-earned dosh.

“I might slide it into a workman’s piano down at the Dolphins Club tomorrow night. The place goes off on Boxing Day.”
