I caught up with this topic while on holiday, and was surprised that it hadn't run longer. There are surely those of us of a certain age group who could revive lots of memories.

I'll start off my contribution with 5015 ("fifty-fifteen") - the family's Co-op dividend number. It's unforgettable.

My mum’s (never my dads for some reason) coop number is my bank pin - it’s tattooed inside my brain and I’ll NEVER forget it. The only other person that knew it was Norma and she’s no longer with us so I know it’s secure

[Hughie]

It would be interested to see who has the earliest Co-op number, our Ardrossan one was 558.

[Jim McCreadie]

Despite our Dad being a butcher, our regular Saturday order at the Co-op van was
" A pound of mince, a pound of stew, nine one double two (9122)".
In my 70s now and it's never forgotten!

For the benefit of younger members and guests, can somebody explain how the Co-op dividend worked.

Of course many of you will remember the (embassy coupons catalogue) the prizes looked good and i remember quite a few people saving up for ages ..only to find out the cigarette coupons went missing. You could sell them everywhere
