Compo 10,328 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'm going to risk posting a few pics from a 1967 Littlewood's catalogue so that the youngsters can see what we had to put up with in the nottstalgic days before computers. Days when you could buy your beer on the "never-never" from catalogues such as these. Littlewood's Spring/Summer edition pictures 1967: Just look at these prices, especially the Whisky party packs: Cat suits and swimwear: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Compo, how are you trying to upload photos???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Doing it the way I always do it. Upload to Picasa web album, open picture, copy url, paste url into forum 'image' box and OK. They all uploaded ok and I could see them all. Later in the evening I could only see some of them; this morning the re-post I did is ok but the original post now has different black boxes! Odd. I cannot repost them becasue I deleted the files after some problems later in the evening. My computer was running slowly yesterday I wonder if that had something to do with it; a scan revealed no virus. See if I can put a picture here: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
