New article on British ephemera from the 1980s is Johnson Photo Envelope (1980) https://t.co/quW2LYS8oj looking at a world before digital photography, where you had to post your film off to get it developed. A slower, clumsier time.

@lifechooser No, there's still time! Oh wait... you've missed it by 42 years. Better luck next time.

New feature on the Ephemeral 80s site is this 1983 Butterkist Popcorn Packet https://t.co/hjvmfNb1xj and, yes, it was dug up by a fox after 40 years underground.

@hywel82 I'm planning to track one down, it looks amazing. Tried looking on Ebay earlier, but got distracted. Think there were a few Durabeam things on there.

It's time to flick through the Boots Freetime Autumn 1985 magazine https://t.co/HDZNqeWlNH featuring toys, technology, gruesome recipes and some curious tracksuits.

Let's take a look at the EMAP company newsletter from December 1985 https://t.co/crf4N2e28w featuring arm wrestling with Brian Blessed, Linda Lusardi, ghoulish Halloween costumes and lots of advertising executives.

@feeflefifski I hope you looked as fetching as I do in it.

[ephemeral80s @ephemeral80s]

It's time to admire my recently acquired St Michael dressing gown https://t.co/hYZoQiW8ZS which dates back a cool 40 years.

[ephemeral80s @ephemeral80s]

Coming soon on Ephemeral 80s is the December 1985 Emap staff magazine. Prepare yourself.

[ephemeral80s @ephemeral80s]

Also, donations always welcome. Happy to return or donate on to archives/vintage shops once I've finished with them. Thanks again.

[ephemeral80s @ephemeral80s]

Thanks for the follows so far! It's a niche project, but should get more interesting as time goes on and I can feature more examples of long forgotten British life from the 1980s.

[ephemeral80s @ephemeral80s]

In fact, I've just made another Ebay purchase of a particularly ephemeral helping of British life from 1985, so expect to see that on here soon.

[ephemeral80s @ephemeral80s]

An utterly delightful slice of 80s Ephemera, here's a copy of the Lacock Parish Magazine from September 1984. Read more at https://t.co/h9HxPK99Hr and get ready for the upcoming church fete.

[ephemeral80s @ephemeral80s]

Just purchased what is perhaps my most ephemeral piece of 80s ephemera so far. Looking forward to delving into this one.

[ephemeral80s @ephemeral80s]

@CarolinePo75107 That's okay, thanks. I only feature things on here which I've owned and used.

[ephemeral80s @ephemeral80s]

It's time to dig out my St Michael coffee glass from 1985 and have a quick hit of caffeinated nostalgia: https://t.co/lvPJQdlq5I

[ephemeral80s @ephemeral80s]

@CarolinePo75107 I'm quite addicted. I'd spend a fortune if I had more room.

[ephemeral80s @ephemeral80s]

It's time to head back to 1986 to take a look at my collection of Cadbury's Wildlife Bar wrappers https://t.co/iiIhAYQhk4 and it's fair to say they're some of the most beautifully illustrated wrappers you'll ever see.

[ephemeral80s @ephemeral80s]

More vintage madness on Ephemeral 80s as I discuss this majestic One Day Bus Pass poster from 1985: https://t.co/smLm3y5rYI which, one day, I plan to have framed on my wall to delight/confuse any visitors.

[ephemeral80s @ephemeral80s]

New item straight out of the 1980s is currently on its way to me with Yodel - let us pray for a positive courier experience.
