Hondo's UK Posters Thread

edited February 2017 in British

Let us start off with the U.K. From 1951 the above newspaper story. Is the quad part of the offending material ?

  • "sordid posters which pander to morbid and unhealthy tastes."

    I guess two people kissing makes it sordid.

    Note the title and category change.  I am excited that you ventured away from Australian posters but even more exciting would be to not have another thread with Australia in the title that wouldn't even give UK poster collectors a chance.
  • Australia in the title.... did I miss something?
     
  • Hondo referred to U.K. posters as "non-Australian"... I am trying make sure we aren't branding our selves as an Australian only forum.
  • I thought he was going to talk about all posters non Australian, not just the UK????  At least that is how I took it.

  • I took it the same.  Hondo has worked very hard on his research and I am sure he is screaming "I can't win with this Charlie bloke.."   However I am concerned about the feel of the forum.  By having a title of "non-Australian" it makes it appear that the dominant poster type on the forum is Australian.  We were very careful to setup threads for all countries as to make this a forum open to collectors of all countries.  I also moved it to the British category. I encourage Hondo to make threads for any of his research for each particular country in its respective category giving them the same billing as their Australian counterparts...
  • After some initial annoyance with Charlie's alteration to my thread title, I accept his above reasoning, and although not agreeing 100%,  will play my part, so what's next ? For Charlie a U.S. thread.
  • Sounds good... 
  • How about a thread in Bulgarian posters? Are any out there?

    You followed up with a thread yourself. Good work and action speaks louder than words.
