Royal Stewart tartan travelling rug ....

Oh, I was going to take a photo of the logo, but I see it was BMC - which later became BL.

Oh, well, remember BMC?

Yes! Memory blast - I think there was one of those ruga with the family Morris Minor, mid-60s!

LP covers like these, which I remember from early ferreting through public library record racks, c.1978/9

I'm OK with the spelling of "Maksim", but not with Bolshoi THEATER Orchestra.

I think the same American half of the 'Angel / Melodiya' cooperative indicated by the label who were responsible for that, were also responsible for the very 70s hippy-groovy West Coast-style illustration!!!

Then it's just as well you're a bloke otherwise we'd launch into the Blow Monkeys "She was only a grocer's daughter"

My butcher's not posh, just old fashioned but he did get rid of the bloodstained sawdust!!

I have a very old-fashioned grocery nearby: bacon slicer, boiled sweets in large jars, young Mr M (now in his fifties) wearing a grey overall jacket and totting up purchases in pencil on paper bags.

My own short trousers were called Cuthbert.

I remember mother, the best part of - oh, a long time ago - always asking the grocer for half a pound of Ayrshire bacon, "cut at 4".

Did he have a notice in the shop? Please don't sit on the bacon slicer, we are getting behind in our work. ( It's the way we tell them!)
