[Closed] Interesting website (old photos)

That's great, bookmarked. Thanks.

WOW! It's one of those websites that sucks hours out of your life as you look from one thing to another!
I've found loads of great things in only 10 mins....

That vintage safety manual is great, ripe for T shirts I would think.
Can't figure out how Joe lost a leg though?

Just found 'vintage ad sexism'. Gobsmacked.

rogg - My friends mum said something similar when a local kid fell off whilst train surfing and lost both his legs. The look of horror on her face (she knew the kid as she worked at the school) as it dawned what she said was quite funny. His injury wasn't funny but it wasn't smart to try to jump onto moving trains either.

Yep bookmarked it too, I found the site on another forum yesterday and spent about three hours on it. 😯
