The wafer cones and adverts for Guards cigarettes. Enjoyed all the photos.

We always roamed the streets of Docklands and East London as kids, played by the Thames, on bomb-sites, and probably did a lot of things which would be regarded as too dangerous today. But we did have fun, and lots of freedom, and it was a good time. Valerie

Love the King Fu Kids and the look on the baby’s face as she tries to make sense of the doorman. They’re all great though. Reminded me of when I was employed as a summer playleader back in the 1980s with groups of sparky neighbourhood kids. Great start to the day.
