And your point is ?

Remember these from the 60,s

 

When I did Domestic Science at school in the 60's all the "cool" giirls had one of these. I felt mortified as I had a home made basket my mother made at a basket weaving class. But in reality it was much better suited to carrying home our creations

edit - why doesn't the quoted picture show in my reply?

Hands up if you,ve never sat on one of these

I had lumbago some years ago, and this type of chair was actually the most comfortable chair I sat on

One thing I am positive about is that this website will be the icon for the 2000 (funnily when you can say the sixties, seventies, etc, do we say the teens for years 2010-2019?).  Anyway, I'm postive that this website will be famous for making posting of photographs very difficult to do

The Angel of the North. When first mooted I thought it sounded stupid. Then I passed it a few years ago-outstanding, striking & quite iconic

Write your comments here...

I was going to say the Angel of The North I like going to see it and driving past it on the motorway always a nice sight. 

Some of these late twentieth century items pre date me!

Thanks V9 your a star!
