I remember one issue being withdrawn from libraries as it apparently contained instructions for growing cannabis.

....so what was the idea you had in your head ref - lefthand turn....I used to think of mixing dough in a bowl....

....Kodak Box Brownie....

For turning left, you stuck your right arm out of the window and sort of revolved it in an anticlockwise direction - keeping a lookout in the rear view mirror for passing cyclists, of course! To indicate "please pass me" you would make a rapid beckoning movement, as if scooping air towards the front of the car; for slowing down to a halt, the arm movement went up and down, with the palm turned down if my memory serves me right.

....do you remember the Variety Act where a man in dress suit would come on to Operatic music, and would start to sing....after a while you would notice that his arms were getting longer until they were about 2m [handy these days]....and that while singing - was all he did....that was his act....he would bow and gesture then leave stage....
