The store rooms directly above the main entrance foyer were packed with assorted odds and bits. Mainly scrap paperwork, but primarily nursing journals from the 1970s. A whole back catalogue of them by the look of it. Interesting primarily for their hilarious "technological breakthrough" stories - you know, like that pioneering cure for cancer that we all take for granted nowdays. Yes, and of course there were black and white pictures of doctors with funny sideburns, so we couldn't help but take a few. Here's some of what we found...
And as you can see - they're simply action-packed with "hilarious" features...
And the whole publication is a sheer breakthrough in technology. At this rate, theyll be using computers next!
But at least they're full of sensational innovations that would become commonplace in the future (but on which planet we've yet to find out)...
And of course some good old fashioned really useful advice that will no doubt come in handy on so many potential occasions that it isn't true.
Okay, okay - So in reality, they are just dated magazines. But that isn't going to stop us from showing you the latest craze in ambulance technology - yes folks, it's the good old Transit van.
And it isn't going to stop us from taking the piss out of people with silly names who talk to giant mosquitos either.
Or indeed from digging up some truly priceless advertising (and how exactly is this semi-disposable?)...
And last, but by no means least - Yes, it's time to meet Seventies Man - Closer in many ways to Austropithecus than Homo sapiens sapiens. Click on the thumbnail here for a collage of just some of the festering facial hair, brylcreem and kinky slacks available in the pages of these medical journals. And be warned - they have names like Roy Sainsbury, Hugh Clegg, Lord Seebohm, Brian Salmon and Isaac Mangang. Isaac Mangang? Hang on...that can't be right...
