When I moved down to that London in 1981, I was packing up my stuff and found a Selectadisc credit note from the early 70s for about 20p.

Has anyone spotted the digital price tags in Aldi. They look like paper but can be changed in a second.

Pretty interesting in FOC world..

I saw the price of an item change before my very eyes (*with thanks to Arthur Askey) in Aldi. I thought I was hallucinating.

I asked one of the staff about it and they didn't have a clue what was going on. Their colleague had to explain the system to both of us.

I was waiting for somebody to post the other classic - 'Wings of Love' (cliché status assured after featuring in Abigail's Party).

Picked up a second hand bargain today at a local car boot sale, a book entitled How to sharpen pencils.

We had that very one. As I grew up in Worcestershire in the 60's and 70's I've always lazily assumed it explains my taste in women. There was definitely no-one that looked like that on our estate. Did you name her? We always called our painting Tina. Don't know how or why. There's an old David Jason sit-com (That I don't even remember) showing on one of the nostalgia channels lately that has one on the wall of there living room.

No name for her. Though I wish I still had it. If you zoom in on the price tag, that picture is going for £170.
