Forget Jaguars, I'm going to do old buildings and brochures from now on. There is more money in it.
Having got the latest acquisition (XK 120 fhc RHD) back to the workshop I thought I'd give the rusty heap a hoover out. Next to a rat's nest (where do rats go? They're never in their nests.) I found this telephone directory cover circa 1969. I know it's not the most precious treasure but I thought I would share it with you Heritage buffs before I used it as a packing piece. I've heard of Whitley Bay. I think it is on the coast. The only gag I can get out of it is that Mrs Ryan provides Personal Supervision.

Why did one need directory covers in those days?

I like the Chrishurst Guest House. Can't imagine for the life of me what the name of the owner was. Did personal supervision too. Very Get Carter.
Get Carter. Is that thing that spews coal into the North Sea still there?
Actually Tom, if you're going to use it as a packing piece, you can pack it off to me. Very useful and emotive addition to the Ashley Archive.
Thought you might say that- it's yours...for a pint.
Ooh thankyou Tom. I have just got in some Hall & Woodhouse Badger Original. I'll try and keep you at least a pint.
