saoirse65: Maybe we should get our cameras out and do a Tesco shot from 20 years ago and one from today lol. In fairness have never seen anyone out in their pj's so wouldn't know where to look I am guessing that the same people consider tracksuits formal wear??

Thanks for that A. I love looking at old photos and footage.
Hi Modern and Sweet...still cant double quoteblushing
I was looking through old family photos recently and my sister in law commented that we no longer print out photos and have albums. I print some out for framing but I rarely get photos printed regularly. I bought digital frames for my family recently but I suppose they are not the same.

Thanks for that and what great pics. Amazing how dirty the buildings were. I remember when you couldnt walk in the city without some building or other being steam cleaned thumbs up
