It was a booklet of pictures of children Stray.

People bought the pics. Some were about 10p each...some 5p ...some 2p money went to charity.

Can't remember which one though...or whether sunny smiles was a charity in itself x

Anyone remember them?

Looking back..how bad were they !!! pretty kids cost more than the less attractive ones !! Blimey you'd never get away with that now.

I always remember my old Grandad buying up all the cheaper ones that no one else wanted.,,,but spending ultimately as much as everyone else.

Now I know i'm getting old as it's hard to imagine how that would be allowed these days! xx
