Out on our cycle along the seafront this morning a mate and I were waxing lyrical and getting all nostalgic.
Perhaps a question for the younger NSCers, are titles such as Mayfair, Knave and Club International still on sale at the likes of WH Smith’s or your local newsagent?
When living in Manchester in the mid 1980’s I recall the dungaree and Doc Martens brigade marched into Smiths in the city centre, emptied the top shelf and dumped them on the counter, to which one northern male wag quipped “If you girls took a bit more pride in yourselves you might get asked to take your clothes off”
Thankfully he got out of the shop alive and in one piece.
