Hi Andrew
I overlooked what women know! We now need a sweepstake on the date. Colour photos not so common in the 60s.
It is a charming contemporary photo, not the sort to be dug out of motor mags or old adverts. The intervening history could be interesting. Like so much else the cuppa seems to have succumbed to fashion. Now seen as cheapskate by many. Everyone flocks to a same as cafe. Seventy plus years on I can clearly remember cuppa stops in unusual places; including a rural railway "station". I still have the Primus but sadly my son has not inherited the skill or interest to make prickers, maintain the jet, leather washers etc and not too confident with the start up pyrotechnics .
