I began my subversive activism in one of those lounges. Flung toward the nearest adult so my mother could attend to my brother, I vomited all over the person who’d ended up with me - Lord Younger, the secretary of defence or something at the time.

It's 1966 but it still looks like something from the future. happy

It's weird how those two pictures were taken just one year apart but the second looks like it was taken fifty years before the first.

Tis often the way with old photos. There's a photo of our street being prepared for the Jubilee party in 1977 - me and my friends are there on modern 70s bikes, but the cars parked in the street look like scrap from the 50s.

That looks like downtown Los Angeles - like near Grauman's Chinese Theatre. happy

The cars give the game away a bit though. love them

That lovely retro italic font on the theatre - so 60s-ish, and disappearing fast.

When I'd visit Walsall town centre I loved seeing the vintage GALA BATHS sign still there in that similar font - then the one time I walked past it had been replaced with some generic modern sign! rant

Then (2015) happy

"Now" (2017) bash

Our swimming pool had exactly the same font for its main sign until about 1984.

True story: coincidentally, I saw a Morris Marina in that same mustard colour parked in Stafford yesterday! It's the first Morris Marina I've seen in years.

Its petrol cap was taped shut with black gaffer/duct tape! aristojar

Something something doubling the value of a mustard Morris Marina.
