Old UK Print Ads 70s/80s/90s
@oldukprintads7890s.bsky.social
Newspaper and magazine ads from the 1970s, 80s and 90s.
Also
@OldUKPrintAds.bsky.social - 1700s onwards
@OldUKPrintAdsXmas.bsky.social - Xmas ads, from Sept 16th
Print quality is very variable - remember this is mostly ancient newsprint, so VERY low-tech

Lamp tech that had only a brief existence for some reason*. Probably many examples tucked away in boxes, retired. Made me think of @thearclampman.bsky.social
*Light quality was pretty dismal, size and weight more appropriate as gym equipment: hard hat recommended when working beneath one of these.

The food I am always trying to recreate in a Proustian flashback way is jacket potato in silver foil from a fireworks bonfire with lashings of butter from when I was 10.
