Cliff Ton 10,479 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Some weird stuff there. There may be several Nottstalgians who identify with No.4 from 1966, offering £10 to go to Australia. And No 26 - the Maypole Hotel described as "headquarters of Nottingham Forest". What's that about? No 36, Rock City in the early 80s brings back a lot of memories.

Compo 10,328 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 The picture of the Player's fag packet (No48) reminded me of the joke: A man was riding through the desert with no-one around for miles when he heard a faint "1,2,3...." He stopped, looked around and saw no-one. As he set off once again he heard "1,2,3...." This went of for some miles and becoming exasperated, he decided to stop for a smoke. That's when he realized.....It's the tobacco that counts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveN 1,118 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 If you want to see many adverts, magazines, products etc from the past then have a look at the site below (I have posted this previously) particularly the books (various decades), which are available through bookshops, and highly recommended by myself. http://www.museumofbrands.com/books/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Merthyr Imp #5: I couldn't afford No.6 so I smoked No.10....does that count? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomlinson 879 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I used to like the 'Horlicks Casebook' ad's that used to appear in the dailies. A small cartoon usually featuring women not able to get the right sort of sleep somehow; short tempered; lacking energy; lethargic. Today you'd be off to see some sort of social worker or analyst. Have a mug of Horlicks!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
