The Purse of Truth

In a previous post, L referred to the 'Yes/No' purse she bought me at Spitalfields market, as a birthday present. Last year, with my friends J and J in Italy, I discovered this purse has magical powers. It has yes on one side, and no on the other. If you ask the purse a direct question, it will answer you. You can however, never ask the purse a question about yourself, only other people. It has been devastating in its accuracy. It predicted J and D's split. It also could have saved her the £8.99 she spent on a pregnancy test, but she didn't believe it when it told her she wasn't having a baby. It told C she would marry A without a problem (which did indeed happen), and is predicting a family for them within the year. More worryingly, it predicted not such good things for P's thesis. But I expect it was having an off day that day.
