15. Look at what you got in 1973
The senior citizens Christmas hamper was well worth a buy in 1973. It cost just £4.40 and you got a whole host of goodies such as shortbread, a steak and kidney pudding, blackcurrant jam and spaghetti baked beans - as this advert in the Shields Gazette shows. Photo: SG
