How times change...

Post by Adam Eterno »

During my usual weekend browsing online for comic "stuff", I came across a free gift from Champion in the 1930s. It's a book of autographs where you cut the autographs out of the comics and stuck them in the book. There were the usual Boxers, Footballers and Cricketers but this was the page that made me laugh with it's modern day connotations. Train Drivers were unusual enough but Crack Train Drivers bought a smile to my face!

All I can think now is Dandy meets Trainspotting!
I started to say something sensible but my parents took over my brain!

I can't be the only one that thinks of Half Man Half Biscuit...Time flies by when you're the driver of a train, speeding out of Trumpton with a cargo of (crack) cocaine...

It's as if they'd seen the same free gift!
