| When I was a boy just after the war (WW2 that is !), reading the dirty postcards with their none too subtle double-entendres was part of a day out at the seaside. There don't seem to be so many of them about now, perhaps because attitudes have changed and sex is no longer a taboo subject. There are many thousands of comic cards from all over the world - just a few here, hope you enjoy them - and please don't be offended, they are just meant to provide a good laugh !! |
| This postcard by Bamforth was mailed in 1908. It would have been considered very risque at the time, considering the prevalent attitudes to sex and to the clergy. (Z) |
| Jokes about the "Lost Chord" were thought to be extremely funny when I was a child - I seem to remember that Jimmy Durante had a song about the man who found it. (Z) |
| No date for this card, but the "Mrs Slocombe" pussy joke would have been considered very near the mark ! (Z) (P) (M) |
| "Many English people still refuse to believe in the total destruction of their contemptible little Expeditionary Force. It is realised more in Berlin that it would have been policy to allow one man to escape to carry the news". This postcard of course dates from World War 1. |

| Those of us in the UK who are getting on in years remember George Formby, his ukulele and his comic songs with their double-entendres. George and comic postcards go well together, so have a listen to him while you have a look at the postcards ! |
