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

Yes Ana but that doesn't matter, it can be anything common in the 50's even if you can still buy it now ( Marmite) but you couldn't say mini skirts because they didn't exist until the 60's, geddit?grin

Now cherry it is never too early ( or too late) for me to get my ruler out! Kipper ties were 70's I think, so hands out please and no crying, take your punishment like a man ( or a particularly tough woman) grin
