Strange as it must seem to today's 'youngster' smoking in shops was common. Pushing a trolley around an early supermarket with a fag in the mouth was quite normal. Of course, not just in shops but in cinemas and theatres too - the ashtray was on the back of the seat in front.
You will see a number of posts concerning smoking - this is not because the writer is in favour of smoking but simply because it was such a part of life back in the old days.
Those of us who remember how things were 50 years or more ago should take the time to make their memories available to younger people. A world without the internet, without on screen games and where direct face to face conversation substituted for texts, emails and so called social media - was it better? Was it worse? Whichever, it was certainly different. PLEASE do add comments - thank you. Search this blog using the search box at the bottom or choose a topic from the labels on the right.
