Article about old newspapers

I just posted one to The Macaronis blog, here.

There's a prize for the person who spots why I possess a copy of a newspaper from a certain date.

Interesting article. Nothing quite like the papers of the time for invoking the feeling of the day. I have a stash mum and dad brought over from England with us - including some from *that* date *g*
Among my prized possessions of course.

I wish I'd kept all my Shoot, Dandy and Beano's but hubby would have a cow for I am a wee bit of a hoarder and he's a bit of a minimalist
:-) and Ebay is evil for one's hobbies I bought some wonderful old mags off it.

You are so right - 'invoking the feeling of the day' - perfect summation.

I loved the Beano. Lord Snooty was my fave and the Bash Street Kids. Happy days...

Must have had the brane plugged in that day *g*
oh the memories of those comics - Bash Street Kids. I wonder if I'm a pen drawing come to life :-)
