    I was googling to see if the new argos catalogue is out yet (it is) and came across this website

    https://www.siliconrepublic.com/gear/2015/06/15/revel-in-70s-tech-nostalgia-with-a-1973-argos-catalogue

    which features the 1973 Argos Catalogue- all 252 pages available to flick through and peruse at your leisure while you decide what to buy.

    I'm really enjoying it! There is some great wallpaper and carpet within those pages. :pac:

    I can't believe you could buy guns (page 213)!

    But it's great looking through it, thanks for sharing!

    Gun laws in the UK were changed in the late 90's after Dunblane in 96.


    EDIT. Meh, they were only airguns anyway. You can still buy those freely in the UK afaik.

    I think my father in law furnished his house with items only from that 1973 catalogue!
