A READER taking a brisk winter's walk around an East Kilbride park heard a little boy ask his mother why there were coins in a pretend wishing well there.
She told him people threw their shrapnel in for luck.
"That's stupid," said the wee boy, to which his mother replied it was a long tradition.
So the boy asked his mother for some coins to throw in, but she tugged him away. "No son," she said, "it's stupid."
Don't show me this again.
Smashing fun
