Don't know how long we can get this game to go on to, but have a go anyway.In alphabetical order name an item you would see around in the 1950's ( it doesn't matter if you would also have seen it in the 1920's, ie, a tin bath, but don't include things from later decades ie, miniskirts.)

Alligator skin handbags

Indian Brandy ( for period pains) tasted weird, Grandma always had some handy for me ( a real brandy would have been welcome).

LullyDully That's because we are all getting on a bit, and can't remember what we wrote the last time around. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc are lost in the mists of time. Besides which most of us can' t be a---d to troll back. It has been an excellent post though

Out of interest there is a wee.bit of repetition setting in. Have enjoyed this thread, checking the letter and seeing if I can dig in my memory for something old. However there one or two repeats ! LDx
