Just coming back on topic, most posters have bemoaned the fact that
Maplins was not what it used to be and generally dear. However, with

Of course we are.
Along with district nurses with starched caps driving Morris Minors,
telegram boys on bicycles, AA men who saluted, sweet shops where you
could buy 4 different items for a tuppny, proper bogs that flush when
you pull a chain and have a roller towel on the back of the door.
And the death penalty, blue passports, corporal punishment in schools,
"No blacks or Irish" signs in B&B, mumps, measles, rubella and ****ing
Brexit.
War in Korea? Conscription?
