Yes.

Why, were they your's?

Most have been sold, sorry.

Can be very profitable, rooting.

I'd never have left the house if they'd have had the internet thirty years ago.
I used to stash my cache of smut, along with a few packets of Embassy and the odd bottle of Strongbow Cider in a locker in the miners' changing rooms at the disused Scaitcliffe Pit. By smut I mean a pile of back copies of Parade magazine which featured pics of young ladies in swimsuits - the sort of thing that you can see in any popular newspaper these days. One Sunday evening I turned up to discover that the lot had been nicked. Gutted, I was.

Apologies for thread wander...just an old man reminiscing. Please carry on with your discussion.
