I
wasn’t happy with the scrolling advert from Amazon that Mike has had on this website for some time now. Also some other people had mentioned that they found it difficult to read the content with the advert scrolling endlessly past on the left hand side.
After some persuasion he has now changed the advert to one that is static. This advert is optimised for Vintage Fashion books from Amazon UK since we are, in essence, a UK site. A look on several occasions today shows that the books seem to be relevant and I was happy to see both some old favourites we have mentioned before and some new ones that even I had not seen. Like many other Vintage websites, we try to choose our adverts with care to be both relevant and useful to our visitors.
So, that’s what happened to the scrolling ad. I think that our website looks all the better now but if you have any comments please let me know.
Back in the 40s, 50s and 60s so much of what was worn was knitted and today the inclusion of even a small knitted item of clothing represents one of the best ways to get that top-to-toe, authentic vintage look.
In the late 50s and early 60s a young American singer called Elvis Presley was just becoming famous in Britain when there occurred an event that was to thrust him into the public eye.
I like Alfa Romeos, I think I always have, and I like big cars too, ones with plenty of engine and some lively right foot action. So, fifty years on, would I have liked this one?
Introduction
Sunday was a lazy day (except for Mum) when, after morning church, almost everyone was at home for the rest of the day in the 1960s. It really was a day when you wore your ‘Sunday best’ and then sat quietly on the settee or pursued a hobby at the dinning room table after dinner.
