The Cheeky Bus Driver

 

Looks like a coach trip, with a cheeky chappy driver who caught the attention if the the photographer.

Slide is dated May 1970, but other than that .... nada.

The passenger door location makes be think it's continental Europe, an indeed the front of the bus reminds me of this MAN coach.

Banished to the Drive


While Isobel and Kath are on the webcams, trawling for toy-boys, their husbands Herb and Maxwell have been banished to the driveway, where they can discuss guns, beer, grid-iron or the Communist Infiltration of Goldberg's Hardware store.   All important subjects in 1961.

Drive. Drive towards the Setting Sun



Could be anywhere, but more likely to be the United States of America than Weston-Super-Mare.

This was a deteriorated colour slide, but I liked the green-component version better.


Bonus - the picture immediately made me think of...

Woman Drives Car !


I guess there was a time when a woman driving an automobile was such a rare event that it was worth a photograph.

Perhaps in the 1910s or 1920s, but the 1950s??    Seriously??
