It’s the height of Martins’
independent lavishness, with new and colourful branches being opened all over
the country. The UK is in the grip of
World Cup Fever, as the tournament is about to be hosted at Wembley stadium!
England swings like a pendulum do (according to the song), you get a whopping
8% on your savings, and it seems just about anything, including
swapping your toothpaste carton for a steak knife (yes, REALLY) is possible.
Life is just so COLOURFUL – except of course on TV, where the word
“multichannel” has also yet to be invented.
Still, as we settle down in front of the box for the evening of Sunday
10 July 1966, the world is our oyster.
We even have BBC2, although we’ll have to wait until 1967 for
programmes in colour. |
