Re: Mail order Catalogues

My brother had one of those red Smiley cars when he was younger, can't remember what happened to it, but I got the feeling it was left out one winter & was frost damaged.

I knew a lot of people who had those trike tractors.

Re: Mail order catalogues

OMG I had that exact same cash register !!!

I had the cash register, and look at that housewive's set...ironing board, vacuum cleaner, dust pan and brush and sweeper. As if you don't get enough of that when you grow up! Needless to say I avoided that sort of thing.

The 1974 images have been deleted off Photbucket, can the OP repost?

If not three or four members have the same C.D they came from, I'm sure someone will get them back on for you

Re: Mail order Catalogues

One of my earliest Memories is looking through Mrs Archer's Kays catalogue. Mum said she would come in and catch me sitting on the couch with the catalogue on my knee and my feet not reaching the end on the sofa cushion. She would ask me what I was doing and I would tell her "I'm looking at the Cheeky Ladies!" 4 years old.

BTW Ace shoes, I had the different coloured leather shoes in the 70s.

Re: Mail order Catalogues

These are mine and I bought them from KAYS catalogue in 1979 - still have them, and still fit!

Although I have this right foot one as a display item more than a wear item.....
The soles are true crepe and they tend to get sticky and after a stroll through the town
many years ago, I got home to find I had brought back many a bus ticket on my sole plus
sweet wrappers and shop stickers....

Re: Mail order catalogues

As a young lad with a growing interest in the female form I used to really look forward to the new Freeman's catalogue with page after page of fit young women in their underwear. An added bonus was if the old one got chucked out and somehow found its way to my room as scrap paper or something. Really surprised one time to see a picture of a half-cup bra (think that's the term?) with the model effectively topless, if you get my drift. Probably no one would bat an eyelid nowadays, but this seemed pretty amazing in a "family" catalogue way back in about 1970.

Me too, I grew up in the 60's and was quite amazed when I started geting involved with girls that they didn't all wear girdles. That's all the catalogue women's undies page seemed to have in those days
