Does anyone remember when shop owners used to put an object unrelated to their wares in their shop window and kids used to have to find it, write them down and win prizes from PADCA for finding the most? and the big festival in Brighton park on the day of the Portobello float

Yeah they did that when i was at school (originally west coast - and only 25 so it wasn't too long ago) funnily enough they never appeciated when you put down dead fly.

I know that it would be a long way to go, but Porty Library does have a few old PADCA programmes in the local history collection. I remember doing the crossword.

You mean leave our computers and actually go outside? Do you think that's wise? Aren't these programmes available online? Can't you email us a pdf or something?

You'll be telling us that computers have off buttons next!

No. I tried it on Sunday only to find the local park full of tired and emotional strangers mouthing weird utterances. Im staying in from now on.
