The staff syndicate at Grocers, Fortnum and Mason, have every reason to celebrate as they bask in their remarkable victory on the pools. With beaming smiles and arms raised high in elation, these 36 individuals from various roles within the store - cooks, waitresses, even the resident model - have defied all odds. Pooling together a modest stake of just £9.09 proved to be a life-changing decision for this fortunate group. Their collective efforts yielded an astonishing win of over £500,000! As Isabel Bergamin joyfully recounts her experience as a waitress alongside Eileen Johnson and Pat O Donnell, it becomes clear that fate had smiled upon them that day.

Preserved by Daily Record's Memory Lane Prints collection with utmost care for posterity's sake, this image encapsulates an era when fortune favored those who took risks against all odds. It stands as both a reminder of past glory and an inspiration for future endeavors – proof that sometimes dreams do come true when shared amongst friends turned
