Eye-catching black and whites

The level of dedication required to play moto-ball while 'smerking a tab' and wearing a suit is admirable, especially mounted on what looks like the period equivalent of a Puch Maxi.

On the other hand I don't rate the chances of success of either lass getting a decent shot stood on something as shoogly as a Mehari.

Stroud Green Road 1984

London 1984

That Datsun was worth more than the Lancia! How times have changed.

Coptic Street WC1 1985

I would love to see rundown areas like this in London nowadays, much more characterful than streets filled with pricey shops.

£1.84 for a gallon of proper leaded 4-star. Just over 40p / litre. Lovely.

That late 1st-generation Audi 100 would be worth a fair bit now.

check out the Stanton 8F column with a Thorn Precinct fitted!, thats a very unusual installation!

Thorn Precinct's where almost always wall mounted and although there was a 76Mm column mounting kit available for them, you never seen them on a large concrete column like that normally!

Mintern Stret N1 1987

Never heard of Yorkshire Stingo Ale, turns out it is some ancient fire water, still made by Sam Smiths; 8-9% ABV. The name possibly comes from the sharp or "stinging" flavour of a well-matured beer.

Gordon & Gotch

Quote

Based in the City of London, Gordon & Gotch were the leading exporters of British newspapers and magazines from the 1920s to the early 1990s. Working close to the Fleet Street-based newspapers, through subsidiary companies they expanded into export packing, established an early computer centre, ran a travel shop, were a successful general printer, were innovators in shrink wrapping, and at one stage had ownership of the Sellotape brand. They had a book division, sold general merchandise abroad, and marketed the Duplex Print Machine worldwide. Based at several addresses over their history in the City near Fleet Street including 75-79 Farringdon Street, the firm also had an export warehouse at Plaistow and offices at Scrutton Street. In the 1970s the firm became part of the Hachette Gotch Limited group of companies. Hachette Gotch Limited was renamed International Press Distributors in 1985 and wound down in the 1990s. International Press Distributors Limited was liquidated in 2002.
