While putting the Christmas decorations back in the loft earlier I happened to come across this magnificent tome, my treasured reading material from (I think) about 1977. I’m glad I’ve kept a few bits of the past…

Growing up I had a few similar books that had belonged to my dad, from basically the same time period.

I wish I knew where any of them were.

Don't worry, I feel the same way watching videos of teenagers being introduced to "vintage tech" that is newer than what I grew up with.

Careful there pal you've just put your full name and address on the Internet.

Someone might go back to the 70s and burgle your house!

No worries Matty, I haven’t lived at that address for 34 years!
