I've seen several Cortinas in the last year or so, a couple of Mk1's, a Mk2 and a Mk3 or 4.

Those car door/boot protectors that were supposed to look like the fingers of someone trapped in the car.

Car door protectors generally. Back in the 80s they were to protect your own door, but if they were still prevalent my passenger door might not look like the surface of the moon.

Wot no.....Chad graffiti.

Toys in cereal packets

Don't see glassware filled with coloured liquid at the front of Boots stores any more.
