[Misc] Packets of peanuts in pubs, served from a cardboard thing with a picture of a naked woman

Smoking carriage on tube trains.
The inside was dark brown and stank of stale smoke, the floor was littered with dog ends.

If the 80s were so different why are these so many visitors to this thread?

As a schoolboy smoking carriages on trains helped me get away with smoking for a few years as if my mum ever asked why I smelt smokey I'd say the only seats on way home were in the smoking carriage.

Faint hope of seeing a nudey lady due to the thread title.

Porn in hedges............remember finding at least 3 stashes as a kid whilst out on my bike. The layby beside the pond I used to go fishing in was a particular hotspot, and the roadside caravan/cafe there actually had a pile on the table to read while you had a cuppa and a bacon sarnie.

When I were a lad, Tennents used to print vaguely glamorous shots of, say, The Lovely Marie Frae Dundee on the side of their lager cans. Presumably to try and distract you as much as possible from the pish contents within

I think you might have generated more response with ‘Packets of peanuts in pubs, served from a naked woman’ as a thread title.

OMG! I was just thinking about those cans, my art teacher at school used to drink those in his 'office' (cupboard)

A bit like the pens with liquid in that you had to tip to one side

my older brother had one of those, I use to find it fascinating

This I also had the good fortune of travelling to school and back by train every day so opportunities were plentiful

Happy endings

Slight correction for you

And smoking on the top floor of the bus

Ah, now that really was wonderful!

Brass Hands - don't see many of them around anymore either.

These days it would reveal a picture of a couple sorting their recycling or using sustainable transport

Smoking on planes. Just at the back though. The people at the front could be smoke-free. Like **** could they. What was that all about?

I find this, smoking on a plane, one of the most baffling H&S risk disasters of all time! I used to be a smoker and would smoke in the back of a plane, never thought twice about it until it was banned. World was mad back then!!

Almost as bad as when they used to let you bring snakes on...

They did have some great articles in them as well. Although the 80’s were obviously a different time to now, people didn’t used to ‘knock one out’ at the roadside cafe whilst sipping their tea. I think that was the sixties.

...printed on it, such that as the packets were bought, the naked woman would get revealed.

What was all that about?

And does it still exist?

I bet they still exist in The Mitre, corner of Baker Street

 

[wellquickwoody]

Even as a then confirmed smoker, smoking on planes was firking horrible!

Didn't Linda Lusardi and Carol Smylie start off on their illustrious careers on Tennents Lager cans ?
