Thread Name: Help: Great Britain 1947
Subject: RE: Help: Great Britain 1947
I was born in 1947 .. I still have my Identity Card somewhere. It was supposed to be renewed at age 16 but of course that never happened as they were revoaked before that. They were issued into the 1950's .. my wife was born 1951 and she still has hers too.
Most folks would have progressed from wind-up gramaphones by 1947 but there were still plenty about.
I suppose I could scan my identity card if you like... I'll see if I can find it. I seem to remember that my wife's is a pale blue colour although mine is buff... I don't know why that is.
