Wrinklies' a Trip Down Memory Lane: A Miscellany of the Good Old Days - Hardcover
A delightful celebration of the times gone by—the language we lost, the currency we changed, and the way we used to live
With this miscellany of reminiscences, you will be transported back to a time when exams were harder and fast food wasn't on the menu. It includes useful Latin declensions, the true origins of famous sayings, essential trigonometry, predecimal coinage, the history of sliced bread, advertising slogans from our youth, old-fashioned sweets, men's hats, Archers characters, 1950s hairstyles, 1960s dances, great inventions, TV weathermen, and more. With this wealth of trivia and invaluable facts about times past, you can explain to your poor grandchildren exactly what they missed out on.
