EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hilarious vintage photograph from April 1975, we see a cheeky sign outside a Bermondsey Petrol Station that reads "Free Sex". However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that there has been a slight mistake. The sign was actually meant to advertise "free six-fold green shield stamps" but someone's mischievous sense of humor got the better of them. This playful prank took place during the Easter Petrol War, when petrol stations were competing fiercely for customers' business. In an attempt to stand out from the crowd and attract attention, this particular station decided to use a catchy phrase that would surely turn heads. Little did they know that their innocent typo would create quite the stir! The image captures not only the lightheartedness and wit of April Fools' Day but also reflects the transport culture and humor of the 1970s. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when harmless pranks brought laughter and amusement to people's lives. As we look back on this amusing moment in history through Memory Lane Prints, let us appreciate how even small mistakes can bring unexpected joy and entertainment into our lives.
