Don't get comfortable, it only lasts 11 seconds.

Sixty-one pages of culinary nostalgia for Boomers and Gen X. How many of you had your introduction to the kitchen with this kids cookery book? This is the 1972 edition and watching this slideshow will save you forking out stupid money on eBay for your own copy.

A special edition of PP with a portrait of Queen Elizabeth ll on the cover to honour the coronation of the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. It includes a potted history of the RAFP. If the text is blurry just check the Settings, and that Quality is 1080p HD.

Coming to you from GM Canada, this glossy brochure showcases the first gen SRX without actually giving you any decent shots of its exterior. Were they embarrassed? It was a handsome enough car - as crossovers go - and later in the decade, was even offered in right hand drive form here in the UK. (There were a couple of other RHD Caddy's marketed in Britain at the time but - correct me if I'm wr...

Peter is one of the most interesting, and talented, people I ever worked with. He is also a very nice bloke and an old fashioned gentleman. "Luck Be a Lady" is a song written and composed by Frank Loesser in 1950 and first performed by Robert Alda. The song was featured in the musical Guys and Dolls. Here it is sung by Peter and arranged and conducted by Ken McCarthy. Recorded at CTS studios (o...

These old cartoons drawn for CR mag by Gray Jolliffe were absolute gems. Today they are completely off the radar so I intend to post any that come my way to give them a second airing.

Something different this time. Not the usual vintage edition of Provost Parade, the journal of the Royal Air Force Police, but a booklet produced by Forces Publications in Singapore for HQ FEAF at RAF Changi. At first glance the sheer quantity of adverts might suggest it was simply a wheeze to fatten the Mess Fund but the advice it offers is a timely reminder of simple steps everyone can take t...

Looks can be deceiving, because not one single body part of the North American First Gen Escort (1981 - 1990) was the same as our Escort Mk 3. In spite of being dubbed Ford's World Car the only things they shared was an engine and gearbox. However, on both sides of the Pond the car sold predictably well, it being a replacement for the Pinto Stateside.

Baby Bird Time. Noisy Great Tits & Quiet Robin

They're all here, those wild little troublemakers - Billy, Dolly, Jeffy, PJ the baby and Barfy the dog - along with tormented, long suffering Mommy and Daddy. For some reason this popular newspaper cartoon didn't make it on this side of the Pond. This book was the first compilation and I discovered it in the PX in West Berlin in 1973. Part 2 to follow.

The all-new, Fox based, seventh gen Continental was a foot and a half shorter than the previous model. It had a style that was reminiscent of the Versailles which had ceased production two years earlier. As a mid-size sedan it was intended to compete with Cadillac's Seville. The bustle-back trunk design is a Marmite feature if ever there was one.

I'm not technical, so forgive my homespun video in memory of cousin John and the other 192 poor souls who perished on the Herald of Free Enterprise off Zeebrugge this evening, 6 March, in 1987.

These old cartoons drawn for CR mag by Gray Jolliffe were absolute gems. Today they are completely off the radar so I intend to post any that come my way to give them a second airing. They hark back to a simple time when advertising benefited from creative minds unencumbered by self imposed political correctness and constraints on humour.
