Mine had a slide button and very modern and the lighter was slim

This is a rant with a question, every photograph I see of Birmingham l see tower cranes, construction, streets tore up, I understand that progess never stops but in order for all that progress to happen a piece of Birmingham has to be demolished. Will this wholesale destruction ever stop or...

All us posh people had a set, mine was a shade of green

Curious on all the fag study's did they ever include sucking on ignited lighter fuel ?, That first drag must have been heavily laden.

John thank you for waking my memory up, I am sure the lighter from your dad is petrol fueled.

Let me pop in there and pick up 1/2 pound of streaky bacon. Great photograph thank you.

A lovely couple of pictures the now one still shows a street with life, but I do wonder about the car facing backwards next to the bus. That young girl pushing a pram just like her mum possibly with her favorite dolly, a horse and cart in the background wonderful. Now I had forgotten about...
