ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS...

Ghosts of Christmas Past: how much lower our expectations were (and how easily pleased we were) back then...

Oh! Men in underpants - it's been so long!

Underpants?Really? I only noticed the train set and the typewriter (2 of things I wanted as a lad!).

In those days, I suppose it was de rigueur to wear your underwear when playing with your train set! My favourite is that poor sad woman lying adoringly at the feet of her new Hoover! :)

Good days they were, back when a woman would sit at her ironing board all a giggle or rub her body over the floor while she fondled her Hoover.

You beat me to it, Suzanne!

I suppose my contemporary equivalent would be a tablet PC to drool over.

Strange enough! These days, no company in its right mind would list the women's gifts or try to show men in their underwear! Now - its the other way around!
Manly Men get DIY toys, and Women get skimpy underthings! LOL

Merry Christmas all!

When I started work in 1978,we used to still take those Hoovers as part-ex so not only were they a welcome gift, the recipients couldn't be parted from them afterwards ! However, as this was all a ruse for you t show us men in underwear, I will anticipate only the arrival of another caption competition....
