Tis true a tells ee - tis making me blush! Blush

Having been to Blackpool many a time where the adult-in-charge of me spent ages reading these types of postcards on the stands outside shops I don't think there will be a single one I haven't already seen! Big Grin

And I was young and impressionable!

Scarred for life, I am!

In the early 1930s, cartoon-style saucy postcards became widespread, and at the peak of their popularity the sale of saucy postcards reached a massive 16 million a year. They were often bawdy in nature, making use of innuendo and double entendres and traditionally featured stereotypical characters such as vicars, large ladies and put-upon husbands, in the same vein as the Carry On films. In the early 1950s, the newly elected Conservative government were concerned at the apparent deterioration of morals in Britain and decided on a crackdown on these postcards. Crazy
