The Wines of Europe

 

I've previously mentioned that Americans love fishing and parades, with numerous slides for both events.

Well, America doesn't have the monopoly on street parades, and this slide dates from 1970s England (I think).

Back when wine drinking was still frightfully posh, so the vintners took any opportunity to promote their vinos.

The Produce Guys

 

Not clear what they're selling, but it's very red.

Could be apples, could be tomato's, could be strawberries.

But that vehicle...?  Piaggio??

Bonus - 

Trees, Clouds, Blue Sky .... and a UFO.

 My heart leaped when I saw this slide image. What was that UFO on the right?

A super-secret USAF Spy Plane, caught on camera for the first time?

A undiscovered species of Frog-Eating Bat, swooping onto the Tadpole Pool ?

A visiting researcher from Planet Flambion Six?

Ah.

Some optical crud on the surface of the slide. Damn.

Bonus - What did American shove into orifices in 2022?

Miss March

 

People photograph the strangest things. Especially when slides are basically designed to be projected onto a screen, to be appreciated by an audience.

So... photographing a Playboy Playmate Centrefold.  Odd.

I've not even researched which year this is from, and played "Hide The Nipple" because "won't someone think of the children!"

Bonus - Wales gains a mountain because of quarrying.
