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

Anyone remember the Freemans catalogues in the 70s? To my mind, it's whay Lulu is most famous for.

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

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.

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.

Come to think of it, I had the Smiley car too, totally forgot about that.

I had the Striker game too.

Re: Mail order Catalogues

Hi, do you have any links? I tried searching on eBay but nothing

Surely I'm not alone in always wanting to be the first to read the new Kays,Littlewood,etc catalogue when it was delivered in the 70's??
straight to the toy section (always dissapointed with the summer edition).
being a retrohead,I often wondered If anyone still had any old copies of these,but the search proved fruitless till the advent of EBay.
although some of these can cost an arm and a leg now,you can pick up the odd scanned versions on Cd.I got a couple of these recently..good memories...CB radios,huge VCR's,Video 2000!! early home PC's and of course toys galore.
though now, at my age its just as much fun looking at the appalling fashions and homewear we use to have. we must have furnished our entire house via Kays!!!

The Seventies..truly the decade taste forgot!
