The Great Stamps War of 1963 saw Tesco in the green corner with their Green Shield Stamps and Priceright in the pink corner with their American-financed pink stamps. Sainsbury’s didn’t support any colour - they were anti-stamp. It was all to do with customer loyalty and the thrill of receiving a “free” gift.

Cars of the 1960s
The Bond Equipe GT
Designed by Lawrie Bond, the Equipe (pictured) was noted for its racy fastback roof and stylish nose. The car’s panels were formed from glass fibre, making them easy to manufacture, a factor that kept the price down - £822 - £21,000 today.

Scotland Yard detectives investigating the shooting of a gambling club doorman are hunting for a mystery man known as The Watcher. They believe that he is behind the violence that has hit the gambling clubs in the West End.

As #German expansion increased the European dimensions of the so-called Jewish problem, and as the realization grew that the millions of #Jews living in Germany's new Lebensraum in the East might never fit into tiny #Palestine, the idea of dumping millions of Jews on the island of #Madagascar gained popularity among certain circles of German policy makers.
