Do you remember a few things that could be purchased for less than an "old" penny and for approximately how much and approximately when?
As a clue from the age of eight in 1951 I lived behind my parents' Newsagents, Tobacconists, Stationers and Toy shop which was great. I learnt to read with the Wizard, Hotspur, Rover and another comic in the same stable (Any one remember the fourth name?)
All these "comics (unlike those today) had few pictures but told great serial stories (Such as "Roy of the Rovers") which contined to attract child (and some adult) readers for months on end. Is there anything similar today?
I look forward to your memories - let me know your ages if you wish (and where you were as a child?)
