Like hot summer weather, baseball, TV dinners, Sesame Street and ready access to things that went bang.
Eynsham Red Jul 2020 6:40pm, 3 Jul 2020 6,142 posts	0 Eynsham Red We had a small independent burger take away, Bretts Burgers, in Oxford during the 70’s. I’d never before or since had anything as nice. Sadly they had a bad fire, and I suspect inadequate insurance, so didn’t reopen.
