Inkss that is so smart!

Less smart - and WAY off topic - is myself in this video. At least you see me in a surfer jacket at one point, and catch a brief glance of me aged 18.

Cool blues harp

Great short film and captures the boredom of lockdown perfectly, and at least you've found a use for your comb!?

That was the director's comb, you won't be surprised to learn!

Am I the only person who remembers the term "Mid" for someone with elements of both mod and rocker styling?

l knew a guy from that era who had some bespoke ltalian suits , bumfreezers ,the correct coiffure and drove a powerful BSA motorcycle and went on to marry a Mod lassie. Often the lines blurred. .

Front cover from Time Out magazine Aug 1964, the article inside was called changing faces. The lad on the cover was called Denzil, the picture to the right was him on holiday in Cornwall 1967. An example of how styles changed.

Inside article

Picture below taken on Boar Lane, Leeds 1966, the lad had just been DJing at a club, he said that all the patches were from bowling alleys.
Jump forward just over 25 years and I would have been in a club round the corner also DJing, without the Parka, mine was solely for wearing on the Scooter, with a club patch on the sleeve, and sergeant stripes on the other, with a name on the chest Clarke.
