1987: Playing safe

In 1987 we in the UK suffered from the Great Storm. A well-known weather man, Michael Fish, had famously dismissed any suggestion of extreme weather conditions. This cartoon shows a determination not to be caught again.

1986: A ‘typo’ in the Scriptorium

Producing any reading material in the Middle Ages was a labour-intensive activity generally performed by monks. The wrong letter in the title page would have taken many days to produce. Today such a typo can be corrected in a second.

1984: American taxpayer

By the 1980s quite a lot of the jokes looked as though they might be American in origin. This one is patently so.
