Nostalgia

'Oh I remember those' or 'do you remember...' were comments I heard from everyone who was visiting the Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising. Stuffed full of toys, games, posters, packing and all sorts of memorabilia from Victorian times to present day. It will be interesting to compare the souvenir program from the Olympic games to be held in London in 2012 to the one for the 1948 games that is on the shelves here.
I overheard one woman telling another that she remembered when the man came and lit the street gas lights! I am even more surprised to learn that there are still a few streets in London that remain gas lit.
