And a packet of ‘OMO’ in the window. Old man out.

It was advertising that you were swingers, having pampas grass in the front garden.grin
The sort of parties where keys were put into a bowl on the coffee table and people went home with the owners of the keys.shock

I remember that in the 70s.

Never heard that. When we bought this house there was a pampas grass clump in the front garden which we immediately dug out. We thought it was old fashioned and naff grin

I never knew that! And it’s not as if I was living a very sheltered life in the 70s…

I advertised my pampas grass ‘feathers’(?) on Trashnothing, I had a very odd reply!
Some grans may remember that if you planted pampas in your front garden in the seventies ‘interesting’ parties could be advertised.
My daughter is horrified, but luckily nobody knows where I live 😅.
