    Anyone remember that "Expose Yourself To Ireland" postcard with yer man flashing at a herd of cows in a field."Bumming Around Ireland" was another with a hitchhiker who was in the nude or had no trousers,can't rightly remember.You saw them a lot in the 80s and into the 90s but have't seen them in years.

    Since the internet few people send postcards anymore but I remember the cards you refer to and there were some crackers.

    One of our local pubs used to have loads of cheeky postcards stuck up behind the bar.As well as the two I've mentioned there was the "Greetings From London" one with two punks giving the finger.That was another popular one back in the day.

    Edit:This is it.

    Came across this link about the aforementioned series.The "bumming " one was a bit weird.Why was this guy standing on lonely country roads exposing himself to startled farmers?The last comment on the bottom of the page regarding this one made me smile.

    There was the famous seaside ones as well. They must have been written by whoever wrote the Carry on film scripts. The best I remember was one of a surgeon and nurses around a patient on the operating table and the surgeon shouting " No Nurse, I said remove his spectacles"

    Ha ha,a shop near us had those as well.One that I remember had a doctor ushering a pregnant young woman into his examination room and he was saying to her sheepish looking boyfriend "You see,one little prick can cause quite a swelling".
