Some curious cigar advertising from days gone by.Pretty ordinary up to press but what on earth is this all about? Any ideas?????????? Maybe our American cousins can throw some light on the subject?

Merry Christmas to all you guys and gals out there, Chris. :)

The Jackson Square strikes me as being waaaay phallic - lol.

The Duke thing sounds like sayings/pranks that are associated with a particular class at the college.

Got me beat mate, "Wid me one hand" "Playing nurse" "Let her go slow" "Pot a Boilin" no idea, dread to think, maybe someone else will enlighten us? Cheers Skeesix, all the best.

Still none the wiser mate? This sure seems threatening thoughBest get some in the post NOW! All the best Chris. :)

The Terrors of America and Their Doings.  Looks like joke to warn non-yanks about the awful ways that Americans corrupt the language and culture. "The United States and Great Britain are two countries separated by a common language. " Shaw. or "We have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, language." Wilde

So true Mark, applies either way round you look at it, at least we can see the funny side of life, seasons greetings and a happy new year mate, Chris. :)

Bobby? Toad-in-the-hole? Knackerd? Gone pear-shaped?  Guvner? Cheers?  Makes me miss my fiends in GB.

Happy Holidays!

My favourite Mark is the Wayne and Waynetta Slob family and their "I'm avin a fag!" from the British comedy show Harry Enfield and chums. Kathy Burke bless her is a national treasure! This phrase always creates an enormous amount of amusement to my American friends, for other reasons than the British usage.

Have a good weekend mate, Chris. :)

what ...?  no  gum ?
