From this Woolworths advert, in 1978 a tin of Quality Street weighed 2.5kg and cost (with discount) £5. In ‘today’s money’ that would be about £28. Today’s tubs weigh only 550g but cost £7, so 2.5kg of QS today would cost £32. And that’s just maths.
This is a glimpse into a lost world. A galaxy of stars in the Woolworths Christmas advert for 1978. Bontempi organs, nighties, Pickwick LPs, Polaroid cameras, proper size Quality Street tins. It’s not only the shop that’s now gone.

Butlin’s 1965. I imagine modern-day patrons of Butlin’s are just as well dressed.

Advent calendars should look like this and have no chocolate in them.

My grandparents had bottles like these. I loved looking at them when I was a kid.

Always so technologically advanced, the Japanese. This audio cassette appears to have a digital clock/alarm built in.

Anybody who was around left wing politics in their student days recognises the chaos of the #YourParty ‘conference’.

Going for a vintage London Underground roundel vibe I see.

This AI does a better job of explaining Starmer’s reasoning than Starmer does himself.

Imagine driving this car. It’s from an old French car, I think.

Why would you air dirty laundry? Wouldn’t you wash it and then air it?
