Saucy postcards

I used to love the postcards - I too was brought up near the sea and also spent all my hols at my grandma's near another sea.

My friend's Dad used to have a collection of records by someone called Paddy Something - I can't remember his surname. I remember him going out one evening and telling us that we were not to listen to these records!! - one guess what we did!!??

The British have always had a smutty sense of humour. We love double entendres so that we can be shocked and laugh at the same time. Its innocent fun because if you're too young you don't get the joke and when you're older it has that cheeky snigger factor.

I remember discovering Max Miller ...The Cheeky Chappie....when I was about 8. My mum and dad had some 78s (now that shows my age lol) of his. He would say things that made people laugh because they would see the image or put the word in themselves. I loved this one so much I learned it off by heart.

Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
They were so happy and jolly.
I wonder how they would have felt,
If all the leaves had been holly.

I must have led a sheltered life! Remember as a 10 year old seeing a postcard,while on holiday in Skegness, saying:
"Landlord, this beer's like your missus, flat!" and thinking it was REALLY rude!

I remember them from my childhood, they used to make us laugh, I think they were harmless. Smut has got a bit more hard core now, I too find the old postcards nostalgic and not a bit offensive.

Grew up in Brighton and these saucy postcards were also part of my childhood. We thought they were really funny and as children used to giggle at them. Certainly not offensive just funny.

Goldengirl yes he did , I think they were just harmless fun , didn"t do any harm , when our family were young we always used to go to Swanage and loved reading them and laughing

The randy man staring at a woman's huge bosoms or whatever always had a red nose.

I love them. They always raise a smile and were part of the seaside experience. Didn't the originator - Donald Gill? McGill? - end up in court at some point?

Or: Portly middle-aged couple on the beach, she's writing a postcard - "Wonderful here, I feel like a new woman, and Bert says he does, too!"

I used to love looking at all the saucy postcards as a child and feel quite nostalgic about them. The majority are harmless.

Classics like: worried looking Big man with huge belly, tiny boy child cowering somewhere below horizon of belly:"I can't see my little willy"

We went to the seaside for a week every summer and saucy postcards were part of the entertainment.

Is this the one where Cleethorpes claims they are lowering the tone of the town?
I rest my case.
