We couldn't afford stickers...  sad24:

And my dad would never go to the 'expensive' garages for his petrol, the ones that gave the collecting coins and things away...  noooo:

And we weren't allowed to buy Typhoo Tea that had cards with it either - just cheap tea for us...

'ang on a minute ~ My Dad didn't even have a car when I was a kid  evil:

He didn't get his first car until I'd left home. In fact I had a car before he did.

When I was a nipper in our street there were only three vehicles, one was me Uncle Jack's Bread Van, one was the Water-board man's company van and the last belonged to Mr Wilson who was an insurance company manager. The milkman and the road sweepers used horse and cart. No not a small rural village backwater but in the middle of Southampton.

Mind you me Mum used to give me the cards out of the tea and Dad used to let me have the cards out of his ciggies   whistle:

I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.
