    Great article about Mary Quant Janny. I know she was famous for the mini skirt, however did you know that there was also a designer range of mini cars and Mary Quant was one those designers included in that collection. Here's a few wee photo's:-

    Great article yet again Janny on another 60s fashion icon. The 60s must be one of the only times when mainstream style was not a contradiction in terms. And don't pay any heed to 'Jim with the Glasses' he is one of the computer voodo guys, not me.

    I think you are forgetting that there is now no such thing as a man's job Jimmy. We are now in a time of gender equality and jobs are all now gender neutral. So you will now be more than welcome to apply for that post as a Bunny Person.

    Jackie for editor, at least we know the site would be in safe hand.

    How about an article on Randall and Hopkirk that good old classic 6ts TV programme, you should be able to identify with that ! haha

    You've got plenty of pictures, get a few together and write about that day or whatever the event was.
