No, @Sir Miles , people bought it for the chance to win a stunning Ralph McTell LP. And all for six-pence, new pence of course. Those were the days. Ralph McTell..... 😴
I’ve never been to Whitley Bay, I wonder what the attraction was? 😁 (Didn’t Terry and Bob go there in the Likely Lads movie?).
Wrigley’s PK - yes, I remember those very well.
Ralph McTell will be forever associated with the classic song StreetsofLondon. Imagine if he wrote it today, he would have to write about gangs of drug dealers and shoplifters, stabbings and the war on car drivers. I despair what that hideous mayor has done to my home town 😢
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Ah, I've missed this page while I was away! Loadsa car ads, loadsa Cushing! And a still from "The Liquidator" while I'm knee deep reading John Gardner!

I’ve spent lots of time in both locations…Southsea beach is particularly lovely…
I’d have been happy spending a bit of time here too ☺️

I can only imagine why 🤭
1959 Car Phone… Comic covers…Cinema ads…Horror icons…Advertisements…Are You Being Served?…Brothers…1959 Car Phone (so good it’s been posted twice) 😂
"The Raven" - 2nd film of that name Karloff was in. This one in the 60s with Vincent Price, the other in the 30s with Bela Lugosi (my preference).
I used to get "Look-In" when it first appeared, then went off it. Certainly didn't see that cover.
Magazine Covers…Sweets…Stars…Art…Advertisements…Pin-ups…
Did this sell for the Roger cover, or the Benny Hill picture strip? 😁
THAT’S Whitley Bay? 😮
Shocking work ethic…but a lovely uniform 🤗
Whitley Bay didn't look like that the one time I was there.
Wrigley's PK! I liked those, don't know if they even still make them.
And I love the USA definition of "a mid-sized car" being one the size of a swimming pool.
That’s a decent top row 👀
Always liked Brennen when he played opposite John Wayne…particularly his character Stumpy…never listened to his records 😬

Books…Advertisements…Comics…Pulp paperbacks before typography…Inside Pages…Sweets…
Those Christmas sweets bring back lots of memories and the Yorkie bar tagline of “It’s not for girls” wouldn’t be allowed nowadays.
Tarantino could do something with this 😁
The first two look very familiar....
Peanut Yorkie? What a time to be alive! 🥜
Raisin and Biscuit was my favourite. Yorkie bars were proper confectionery 😁
Travel ads…Pin-ups…Advertisements…Magazines…TV…Noir Movie Scenes…
Yes, and you still get those. The Peanut Yorkie must've been before my time.
Holy tie-ins, Batman!
The makers of Bond bread seem to have missed a chance at riding on the coattails of 007 - or perhaps they did in another advert?
The sheer number of these type of titles is mind blowing 🤯
At their peak in the 50’s and 60’s there were up to 130 titles being published each month!
I have no idea but the license fee may have been prohibitive?
Model kits…Advertisements…Magazines…Paperback Art…Vintage Pics…
Those Aurora horror kits were amazing, I built them all in the 60’s, the paint jobs I did were very amateurish, but I loved them.
I remember seeing these built in the Manchester toy stores…😁
Where would you apply for this job? Asking for a friend…👀
My Mrs is searching for one of these now 🤣
That rum vending machine is terrific 😂
Movie….Advertisements…Magazines…Pin-ups…Adventure Magazine Art…Casablanca…
Whisper & Bed Time Stories 😁
Car Ads…Cinema Ads…Magazines…Travel Ads…Singers…
I’m guessing Eyeful didn’t hang around on the shelves for long 👀
I take it that’s Deborah Harry, last but one image…
Correct and correct 😁
Advertisements…Pin-ups (that’s the kind of sunflowers art I can appreciate 😁)…Monsters…Movie Mag…Peter Cushing at home…
