Z Smell:
Zubes - I used to take a tin of Zubes to school with me in the winter. It rattled in my satchel (yes, we did have satchels, leather ones.) The Zubes were strong and warming but I must have smelt horrible!
Z Memories:
I could write about Zombie Movies in the 1960s - The Night of the Living Dead - but that's far too grim a topic for my liking and so, as this is my last A to Z post, I thought I'd do a bit of a summing up. To be honest, it's not actually me doing the summing up. I've decided to let a video do it for me:
A to Z for the last time:
This video scrolls its way through lots of the adverts, street scenes, fashions and music from the 1950s. There are many things that we've mentioned and some things that we haven't. It includes some long lost songs too. Look out for these bits that made me go, "Oh yes!":
Z Programmes:
On TV:
Z-cars
Zorro
Zoo time
Zoo Quest with David Attenborough
Film:
Zorba the Greek
Zulu
Z Names:
Zebedee
Frank Zappa

A to Z for the last time:
- I'd forgotten how those big black phones had a little drawer underneath that contained a small card for phone numbers.
- I'd have loved that mod black and white dress on the lady lounging across the moped.
- Radio valves! Dad would never be without spare radio valves!
- What a cute little policeman's car.
- Open milk pales on a milk delivery... health and safety?
- While Nellie the Elephant is playing there's a young girl wearing an elasticated swimsuit. I had a green one exactly like that... or rather it was a hand-me-down from my sister [right, Rifka?]
- We never had three ducks flying across our wall but lots of people did.
- I loved my Meccano set.
