I have just looked it up and 2019 is only the second time in Queen Elizabeth II's reign that Easter Sunday has been on her birthday - the first one...

Easter was a bigger thing when I was younger - all the Cadbury's and Rowntree's (when they were separate from Nestle) Easter Eggs to look forward to...

I am used to buying booklets of 12 first class stamps so I needn't worry.

There were loads of short run crime shows in the 1990s so it's easy to forget some of them!

I assume that they were aimed at those who were just about to post letters, and then realised that they had forgot to put stamps on the envelopes -...

And they were probably wishing they hadn't considering that some people in the country of Iceland have objected to the supermarket using that name in...

I was staying in the Blackpool Pontins in 2005 (now closed, probably due to Health and Safety Reasons, and I can understand with regards to the...

Powell was in Grange Hill for almost the entire 1980s as Headteacher (save for 1980 and 1985 as Deputy Head) hence her inclusion. I can't stand...

They probably did, but I feel that atmosphere of the 1980s helped the people listed to be more successful than in previous decades. Play Your Cards...

Woolworths had the Woolco superstores from the late 1960s to the 1980s. They were a bit ahead of their time, normally being built on the edge of a...

Didn't Woolworths used to sell food just like a supermarket many decades ago? I am sure that I have seen adverts in late 1960s and 1970s newspapers...

Spar is still around, even if it is low-key in Great Britain. I suppose that it will be like C&A (and the European Union) - going strong on the...

THE 202 MAKERS OF THE 1980s - THE PEOPLE WHO WERE FAMOUS IN THAT DECADE 　 Here is a list of the 202 most famous people of the 1980s as far as I am...

Not quite an ironic lyric, but something involving Sir Cliff Richard which I thought I would share: In 1985 Mike Yarwood did a celebrity "old...

Just received the Sunderland Empire version of the Fame the Musical programme - it will be very interesting to see how different (or same) the copy...

To people in the south, people think that Barnsley is so assertive when it comes to people who come from there, but it's just a stereotype at the end...

I would have thought that even in 1973 never mind 1977 or 1982, there would be very little use for a ½p stamp. I thought that the cost of a first...

I wouldn't have known that myself of course. :)

I would have thought that it would be like using a payphone and putting coins into the machine - or like Nottingham City Transport bus fares (says...

My father came from Doncaster so I have a bit of South Yorkshire in my family as well - he used to say "sen" instead of "self" and all that. A friend...

I thought it was common knowledge back then - comedians used to make jokes about them. :)

The name Hillsborough seems to be synonymous with the football disaster, both from a football and sporting perspective - it's as if the name only...

Well, it does mention it where it says "Posts".

I would assume that a lot of them had the same or similar names to white people - this can help them when it comes to getting on in life. More to...

I would prefer to wait and get stamps from a shop instead of getting them from a machine that does not give change.
