I don't know if they still have them but I got numerous tools from Green Shield Stamps in the early 70s (I smoked in those days and they put them in cigarette packets). There used to be an exchange place in Finsbury Park near where I live n Seven Sisters Rd
I remember Green Shield well Bruce although I didn't collect them myself, and many cigarette packets had coupons in them such as Embassy, Players No.6 etc., but all ended many years ago now, useful at the time though, and as I smoked two packs a day anyway the coupons soon added up ...
