Fascinating and well-designed British Government propaganda booklet on ways of keeping fit in the late 1930s. Undated but circa 1938.

Mark, Kay Carroll and Yvonne Pawlett, Prestwich. Kay wrote to me once 'I was born Kay Sullivan sometimes with an O as in O'Sullivan my initials spelt chaos (KO'S). I think I used that a lot with the Fall fan club as well as Mother. I sifted and replied to everyone who wrote to the Fall.' #FallFriday

Not got anything planned this year but if I had a time machine this would be a good Christmas party to check out #FallFriday

Good place to start!
