Enter the world of the 1950's child. From the corner sweet shop to the playground, to boys pretending to be spitfires and Rin Tin Tin, frozen jubblies and the Ford Popular. Tony Redding brings back a flood of memories as he takes us back to 1950's London.

Why was growing up in the 1950's so different and special? If you are in your early 60's you will know the answers. If you remember cream soda, wagon wheels, snake belts, Rin Tin Tin, Robin Hood and Popeye, this book is for you.

If you were born long after 1960, here is the world of your parents or grandparents, set out in all its 1950s glory: "six of chips", Eddie Cochran, The Shadows, smog, bomb sites, a caning at school, Penny for the guy and British bulldog.

Turn the pages and shift into a time when you could press the 'button B' and get your money back, whiten your teeth with Pepsodent and listen to adults criticising the police for failing to lock up enough teddy boys. Enjoy!

It is easy to navigate from mode to mode.
Color: Silver
I have only had this watch for four month. So far I am satisfied with its performance. One thing I like about it is that it only has three buttons. This makes it easier to manipulate. With only three buttons I have no problem remembering how to navigate from Mode to Mode.
