I remember it well ... it was Juneteenth day 2021 when my internet went down at about 13:00 and didn't return until the next morning. :problem:

They were printed in Leeds by De La Rue within the John Waddington ( of Monopoly fame ) factory. The production area was bordered by very high fencing and unauthorized entry was impossible albeit it was perfectly Ok to dander about in the adjacent areas flicking through un cut millions of, for example, Hong Kong Dollars.

The telephone to the neighbors garden made from the empty national dried milk tins with a piece of string connecting them.
Don't suppose today's kids have ever tried that.

Playing cowboys and Indians.
Making bows and arrows.
Getting scuffed knees, stings and scratches and rubbing with a dock leaf with a bit of spit.
