Argos magazines from '70s '80s and '90s

[Leyland Lawrence]

Don't know if these have featured on AS before but worth a look if interested in everyday design from the past.

 

Using my inflation calculator a portable telly retailing at £200 was the equivalent of spending £600 today!

 

They also sold car stereos so you can look at those too.

The laminated book of dreams.

That's a great site! I've only ever seen the 1976 and 1985 catalogues online before now.

Yeah I stuck 'em in the grin thread but I guess things are lost in there so no harm!

 

1979 featured a lass mowing the lawn in her nightie.

In fact the whole 70s were a bit naughty if you were buying showers .... Plenty of bumcheek in there.

Yeah it's a great site! Has saved my skin when researching many a time. 

 

Oh, and you posted this in the wrong forum. You must be killed.

Seen these before for the vacuum cleaner pages! I want a late 70's flymo though!

There were bumcheeks everywhere in the 70s. Everywhere.

In every newspaper, on the front page of every magazine, on every billboard, in every catalogue, brochure, office, film, you name it, there were bumcheeks.

And tits. Even in the school books.

Still, if we brought a wank magazine and were caught, they took it away from us. I didn't understand adults back then, and I don't do now.

I did some in-depth calculations and I reckon there were approximately 2 bumcheeks for every person on earth! Crazy.

[Leyland Lawrence]

Yes, wrong forum, if Admin can move I'd be grateful.

 

I had hoped it would have my 1984 B&O TV with tambour door but alas no.

 

As an aside the tambour door is jammed so need to find another telly since a joiner who doesn't mind working in close proximity to 30 year old TV components cannot be sourced.

You could remove all the charge in a dramatic fashion with two wooden handled screwdrivers.
