Things that were 'very much of their time'

[SteveT]

Until very recently 2 eggs per week were advised because of the cholesterol content, now that has changed and we can eat up to twenty per week or some such figure.

I think it was proven healthy by the british egg marketing board who are totally reliable and unbiased regarding their extremely healthy product.

Mrs Edwina Curry I'm sure can testify to it.

When I mentioned 'going to work on an egg' I actually meant the advertising campaign which finished before you were probably conceived;-)

Diners with soda fountains...........yep the US has changed too!

Sir Isaac Newton told us why, an apple falls down from the sky And from this fact it's very plain, all other objects do the same A brick, a bolt, a bar, a cup invariably fall down not up So if you handle tools up there let your watchword be "TAKE CARE" If at work you drop a spanner, it travels in a downward manner At work a fifth of accidents or more illustrate old Netwon's law But one thing he forgot to add the damage won't be half as bad If you are wearing proper clothes, especially on your head and toes. These hats and shoes are there to save the wearer from an early grave So best feet forward and take care about the kind of shoes you wear It's better to be sure than dead so get a hat and keep your head Don't think to go without is brave The effects of gravity can be grave

Clothes not so much since they do have an alarming habit of coming back round. Although I don't recall seeing deelly-boppers outside of the 80s aside from hen-parties, so perhaps some things won't.

Kensitas cigarettes.

Consulate cigarettes.

Smoking a Dunhill in order to look old enough to get into an 'X' rated film. Obviously when one wasn't 'X' rated enough oneself.

Smoking in the cinema.

Cigarette ads in the breaks at the cinema.

Timing it just right so that at the end of the Consulate cinema advert, one was able to correctly shout out 'donkey's arse' in place of 'mountain stream'. As in 'cool as', thereby getting a good laugh from the patrons of the ABC Elephant & Castle, some of whom might be appreciative teenage girls who would applaud that sort of low level derring-do.

Cinema management being unappreciative of, what would be seen as cutting-edge protest, and even satire and giving the worthy protaginist the 'bum's rush'.

*Saying little, but giving quite the stare to the ABC Elephant & Castle*
