| I was in Bexhill
Museum
recently when something caught my
eye in their shop. It was a
packet of assorted mid-20th
century replica paper artefacts.
I finished up buying two
different bundles. Each of them
contained a Daily Mail I-Spy
Book, "At the Seaside"
and "On a Railway
Journey" which would have
cost six old pence (or two and a
half pence today). |

| In my late
primary school years, my friends
and I were devotees of the I-Spy
Books. After, I reached the I-Spy
points target, a suitable
respectable person hopefully
signed off my endeavours. I sent
the book into the Daily Mail who
stamped it and returned it with a
coloured headband feather. You
were then expected to attach your
feather to your I-Spy headband!
Somehow, I can not imagine todays
10 year olds demanding a
renaissance from the Daily Mail
or other source! |
