Can't wait for it to come. I'm sure the memories will come flooding back! Lets hope Royal Mail don't spoil my fun with a strike!

For an interesting look at old school food try:

Battenberg Britain: A Nostalgic Tribute to the Foods We Loved

by Nigel Cassidy & Philippa Lamb


Just orderd this from Amazon for £6. It looks great. Thanks for posting the recomendation Richard.

I spotted it in Waterstone's on Saturday, it mentions lots of food me & my girlfriend used to eat when we were young.

Re: The DYR? Reading List

Do you have The Boy's Book of Airfix??
Is it any good?

Went to Library today and got out 'Classic Saturday Night Telly' & 'Buy, Keep or Sell'

yes I have all the Airfix 'collectors' type books, incl the most recent, 'Airfix's Little Soldiers' which I'm reading now..fab stuff (The 'BBof Airfix' you mention, and his (Arthur Ward's) earlier 'Airfix: Celeberating 50 Yrs...' etc etc are lovely to look at, if a little inaccurate in places)

As a collector of all things Airfix (kits, toys, games,soldiers) it'd be pretty poor if I didn't have the relevant reading material (I'm also a member of the Airfix Collecting Forum, and the Airfix Collectors Club )

ps agree that the Robert Opie scrapbooks are a feast for the eyes, if a little short on actual facts/info (I have the 60's & 70's ones)

Re: The DYR? Reading List

Its just mostly pictures, hardly any info, and a bit over priced for what it is.
but If you see one cheap on Ebay, go for it
