DaveN 1,118 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I remember from my teens there were lots of adverts for pen friends or pen pals. I assume these have all disappeared now with the internet. I recall having 2 pen friends - one in Holland and another in the U.S.A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crankypig 457 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Things you don't see anymore. Barbers shops selling condoms. Was this the only place men could buy them? I can't recall seeing them on sale at Boots or other chemists,or we're they hidden under the counter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crankypig 457 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 When we hadnt been married long we were out in our garden one day as were most of the neighbours as it was a sunny day. The local barber (who everyone knew) walked up to our gate and said to my husband 'you left these behind sir'. A packet of condoms. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Well you Bulwell lot aren't very observant. I saw one in Main St today, across the road from the JEM Amusement arcade 57 Main St, at Bulwell Bogs. Over to you Cliff ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 #4198 and others' I can't resist the old joke: A man walks into a chemist shop and says -'a packet of condoms, please'. 'Certainly sir, that'll be one pound and twenty pence for the tax'. 'Sod the tacks, I'll tie them on'. I'll get me coat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
