How Charming.

A typical English family on Christmas Day. Notice the candles on the tree. This magazine called itself a "DIY" magazine. I always thought that "DIY" was a modern initialization. Anyway, I think it's quite an interesting depiction. (I might have posted this previously...I forget:)) http://i62.tinypic.com/wmebld.jpg

DTC,

Careful! That weapon may be loaded! ;-)

I think the hair is yellow....too many Woodbine...but I'll give you the other bits.....obviously not Irish...we have our legs on upside down.... :-(


Love the ads too, Stuey....and all the men doing DIY whilst smoking a pipe...x

[stuey]

Mrs stuey likes that ad, jno. I'm puzzled as to what could be in that cylindrical box on the table.

[stuey]

Gness, and not a speck of sawdust or paint splatter anywhere, and they always had a tie on!

[gness]

I was wondering about the cylindrical box....I think a rotating stack of screw drivers....x

[stuey]

For the little lady of the house to fix her pot and pan handles.

[anneasquith]

maybe a welsh family ? or Scottish even :)

[shoota]

That circular box is a humidor for the gentleman's cigars.

[gness]

I hope the large box is a cobbler's last.....☺

[shoota]

He would have to be very small cobbler to fit in that.....

[gness]

At my age, Shoota.....I'll be happy with any size....x

[stuey]

But, anneasquith, they just look so...well...jolly 1956ish English:)
