How Times Have Changed

[planeterotica]

I have just watched the BBC2 programme Censored At The Seaside which was all about Donald McGill who was the artist responsible for most of the saucy seaside postcards sold in the 1950s when at the age of eighty he was locked up in a police cell and charged under the obcene publications act thousands of his saucy cards were seized from shops and destroyed, how things have changed in the last 50 years he sold millions of these cards which were tame compaired to even a daily newspaper today they have now become collectors items, so next time you are thinking about having a whinge about UK porn just think yourself lucky you wasnt in your prime 50 years ago or you would have had a lot less to jerk over.!love!

Well they could have done brerbear because i think a lot of people never got the double meaning of some of the captions on his cards but they posted them back home when they were on holiday and a lot of these got seized by the Royal Mail for being obscene, so nothing has changed then you cant send porn through the post these days O well its lucky we now have the internet.!love!

Aaaaaah, postcard humour: next to a cup of tea as a bastion of Britishness.

I remember receiving one from a naughty pal (I was 8) from Blackpool in an attempt to embarrass my impeachable self.

It was a picture of one woman talking to another about her new piano depicted in the background:

"So I asked the chap for a piano, and he gave me an upright organ instead".

Ooooooooooooh, missus, I'M FREE!!!! WHERE'S ME WAAAAASHBOARD!! NUDGE-NUDGE, EEEEEEEH? EEH? suits you, madam- do you want it? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!
