Open End Numb Legs Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Dad gave me his copy of the London Evening Standard to keep, printed on World Cup Final day, 1966 (he went to the game). The classifieds are great to read. As someone said above, house prices are hilarious as are the car adverts. Big selling points in the motors section were a radio, wing mirror and heated rear screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I don’t wallpaper anymore, just emulsion the walls, so I can’t do this anymore The people who bought our family home after my parents died- the house was in the family for 55 years - did some refurbishments and a former neighbour told me they found my first name carved into a bannister rail, my name and signature (dated from when I was 10) behind wallpaper and 'Bristol City F.C. Rule OK' in various places. Not sure how Mum and Dad put up with me! Last time I had to replace a section of wallpaper in my current house, about 20 years ago, I listed the City team due to play that afternoon, who we were playing, the division City were in, the manager etc. with the date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t afford big relocation fees in them days.
