Used to go to lots of shows, exhibitions, fairs etc in the 70's and 80's.
Everyone used to give you lots of promotion material like bags, brochures, pictures, stickers, magazines and even 7'' records. I'd always come home with a load of stuff.
Still got a pile of unused window stickers, my Mum wouldn't let me stick them on

Was it just me, or did everyone cover things in stickers?
Wherever you went in the 70's / 80's people would give you stickers, so it seemed a shame not to stick them somewhere

Another random unnecessary project I've been wasting too much time on is Digitising (or Digitalising?) a lifetime of old photos, as I've found all the old negatives it's been easier to scan those than take the old pictures out of albums.
Something modern generations will never have the problem with was not being able to delete all those really rubbish pictures you took, paying money to have them developed and printed and finding half of them were fuzzy images or pictures of the floor etc 

       

Had an annoying habit of removing posters etc from old records and a few have turned up.
Still searching for the newspaper surround for the first Public Image single, which is somewhere up there?
Did find this nice Propaganda poster though 

Not sure why I've kept some of this stuff, but good for old memories.
Did sell loads in the 90's

   

A few more football books to add to the pile I already had downstairs

Yes I was the same from mid 70s to mid 80s.


The memories those items conjure up is great sometimes 

Found a pile of old camera negatives, just working my way through scanning them.
Loads of holiday, family, baby photos etc, but good to see things like these from around the early 80's

Quote from: Dave on 16.12.2022, 09:06I have to ask: Do you live in a bungalow?
The reason for asking is, I don't know anyone who keeps a ladder hanging up like that in a loft   

No terrace, wooden ladder so would probably rot outside and the only other place for it was in the hallway but we kept tripping over it, so in the loft seemed a logical choice

For nostalgia fans, the wallpaper covered books.

The 'man on the moon' one is actually a 1953 publication, interesting but totally wrong.
But back in those days we really did think Interstellar travel would be possible before the end of the century 

Back in pre-internet days, these were essential for us music fans

Nice loft 

It's a good place to keep the West Ham flag 

Obviously a fan of this game 

The home made singles box, used to transport the records round to friends houses back in the day.


 

No idea how I ended up with so many books?
got bookcases full of them downstairs and just brought this lot down to find room for.


 

First video recorder was a second hand Betamax.
Sadly that died the death many years back, but did unearth all the videos.
Would really like to watch the New York home movie again (not me, it was given to me by the guy I bought the video off. had video from the WTC and Empire state building on it from the 80's).
