Old Folk Collected Different Stuff
Maybe there's someone out there who also collected cigarette packets as kids in the 50s. These were the old style packs with a sliding inner with names like Players, Senior Service and Garrick. In a masterpiece of engineering, we used to fold them down to become flat packs. We would then swap or compete to vary or add to our collections. Competing consisted of throwing to a wall - closest to the wall and face side up won the game. Yep, there was the odd fight over who won !!
Since I grew up, I have mostly collected memories and, sadly, as I get older I can't find either the cigarette packs or most of the memories.
