That is amazing (having it this long - with the sleeve, to boot!)
My 12 yrs older sister had - then lost due to mismanagement - quite a record collection. Her recordings of the big three JLL records (Great Balls of Fire, Breathless and Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On) were 78s.

Saving it up for a telescope.
Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M
@rinkydinkydoink actually, I bought it from a photographer. I had to clean the optics and recollimate it. Made the base from a heavy aluminum pedestal that was being thrown out at a medical company. Even had money left over.

@rinkydinkydoink books get very heavy!!! I had no more room in the moving truck either. I had to let them go, consoling myself that some other bookish girl would obtain them and expand her world as I once had.

I would save my lunch money, I would literally just drink water all day at school instead of buying lunch.
I would make an extra 6 bucks for mowing the lawn.
Go to the bus 🚌 and head to the mall. The virgin mega store was my sanctuary!

I had no idea what "high streets" meant so I googled that term... it looks like W's may return

Now Woolworths might be making a comeback as the German CEO Roman Heini says new UK stores are on his "bucket list."

@rinkydinkydoink That's interesting. The state of our town centres (down town) is a hot topic at the moment as people bemoan the loss of traditional shops. Of course, they don't want to know that they caused that by shopping online.
