Tommy Crawshaw Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Yes got a few somewhere in the loft. The packets of Park Drive I had to smoke to get them though when I was a kid. That's why I've got the lungs of a 120 year old coal miner now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 My dad smoked Park Drive, which did me a big favour cos I tried one of his when I was about 10/11 and it was disgusting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Crawshaw Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 As an aside to this, there was an auction of football programmes today. Some cracking ones there mostly from the 40's. One lot of 6 had a Wednesday v Chesterfield programme from Easter Monday 1948. I put a couple of bids in but backed out when it got to £90. Went for £95 in the end + 25% commission. Some other lots went for big money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musn't Grumble Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Park Drive... the most effective and quickest way of road surfacing the inside of your body. Even more effective than if you tried to do intravenously through a major artery. These football handbooks were pretty good, though. Had all the facts and figures in one book (for anyone under-40, the T'interweb didn't exist then) but I recall that you had to collect a shed load of stamps to complete the pictures in the book (or did these come later?) so the smokers really had to carry on puffing away for about two weeks to get a Ron "Chopper" Harris sticker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 shop outside my school in the 60s would sell us a park drive and a match for 2d.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMortimer Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I remember my dad having a couple of them back when I was Barry Bannan's height. No idea what happened to them. Wouldn't be a surprise to find they were among the aircraft hangar of stuff in his loft. I seem to remember a colour picture of Ian St John at Liverpool, but not much else.

The newsagent near my school also did this in the 70's. Known as dirty Sam I think the 'Meal deal' was a number 6 , a match, a quarter of sherbert pippins and a sneaky look at the port mags 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
