Amongst the wonderful old photos I came across the house when it was inhabited, and possibly loved ( who knows what goes on behind the curtains, behind closed doors), as a family home
Just digging and researching it seems that Dick, was former managing director of BR Projects, and in the late 1990's during a management buy out sold his shares and made about £800,000, equivalent in todays money to £1.7 mil. Now that was a nice little earner
It seems like he went on to form his own consultancy, based down south, on matters relating to rail infrastructure, which is still active and returning annual accounts as recently as the last tax year. Hmm intriguing as he would be well into his 80's now, having been born in 1940.
All I can find out about Christine is that she is (or was) the Chairwoman of the local "neighbourhood watch scheme" A Uk initiative for nosey neighbours and peeping toms with too much time on their hands.
It seems like she was earning ok back in 1991, £7k is about £18k in todays pounds shillings and pence. of her we know little more
But she must be spending above her means with an overdraft of £15k on a credit card which in todays money is 36 fucking grand!
78's and 33⅓'s
Memories of my youth, I read both these avidly, saved my pocket money and enjoyed, then swapped them with mates for comics like The Victor or the Dandy.
By the time whizzer had come around I was too old for such things
Private Eye, a satirical magazine for those with a boring snobby upper class sense of humour. Nope, no ta, give me with the likes of "The inbetweeners" and Ricky Gervais, I laugh at nothing much else.
.....and so it seems maybe Christine and her Dick had a very healthy sex life or Dick had a hidden stash and enjoyed choking the chicken in her absence.

What a collection Dick had. I checked the name of the magazine, and it turned out it was about one certain thing: https://www.rambooks.com/magazines/60s-70s-80s-porn/color-climax/sex-bizarre/ The icing on the cake.
Amazing post!

cheers @x-rain ....I followed your link, wonderful start to a sunday morning

😁😁
Cheers!
Ay, how charming Dick... 🤣 all this so vintage... it's museum-worthy.
yes museum worthy indeed, good old dick lol
This is still such an amazing find! Perhaps a bit shocking that this fella left SO MUCH of his financial history just laying around though. Seems like maybe that 800k went to his head or something. 😆
I find it kind of amazing how much porn has changed since then. Particularly size-wise. From the size of the guys' wangs to the size of the women's bodies, everything back then was so much more REAL. Don't get me wrong; I realize that these things come in all sizes in reality, but the images in modern commercial porn have gotten so standardized. It's just blah.
Thanks, as always, for sharing!
