I used to often find chewed up lumps of plastic behind the settee where the dog had pinched a soldier
Anybody old enough to remember Biggles books? Must have almost read most of them when I was a wee slip of a lad. Amazed I am not a dyed-in-the-wool racist after a steady diet of stories of savages, chinkies and coolies from Burma, Malaya and Indonesia, as a young lad. Always had a slight mistrust of Germans and Japanese though.
Errrr, my Old Man told me about them…… Anyone remember the Jennings books? On the comic front I can remember getting the Hurricane which featured Hurry of the Hammers and then Tiger which had Roy of the Rovers. A few years down the line I used to get 2000AD which was a bit of a ‘cult’ comic amongst students when I was doing my degree.
Will have a look and let you know. I wasn't born till 77 but have a couple of older ones that I think had been my Dad's.
Nah mate, I used to find them in the bushes next to the fields when I was a kid. Don't have woods in Blyth.
I remember finding a carrier bags full of mags when walking dog before work. Put them straight in car so my misses did see them. Got to work and put them on our bait table. They were Gay mags. . I got some stick. Funny as they slowly vanished from out mag locker.
Reminds me of when I tried to read one of Ian Fleming's Bond books, I gave up when it got to the point where every other word was negro. I distinctly remember some really awkward sex scene of Bond boning a black lady, and Fleming describing Bond's pale skin mixing with the woman's blackness creating beige sex....or some other such drivel.
