Saucy postcard / Joke type

[Milkyway]

You don’t see the old saucy postcards so much these days, that was always a traditional thing & we used to love sending & receiving them.
The “chuckable” ones like this would be welcome too.
Basically...anything that isn’t too rude & can raise a smile.

Wokeness and snowflakes will have killed that sort of thing off.
Although bizzarely birthday/celebration cards like that are easy to get

Very true... Now they would either be covered up on the top shelf or an ‘under the. Counter’ job.
Ok, A bit Crude / rude or double innuendo... but where’s the harm in that.

Or maybe text messaging and Whatsapp. Who sends anyone a postcard these days? On holiday, your usually in constant touch with loved ones at home anyway.

Don't think you can blame "wokeness" - saucy postcards have been drifting away from popularity for at least 30 years.
I grew up in a seaside resort and as a kid they were everywhere on racks outside the shops. By the time i'd moved back they were nowhere to be seen, replaced entirely by scenic views and "cute" animals.

Wokeness and Snowflakes.

That is so 2021.

Now I work from home I do see a bit of day time tv first thing. I’m surprised but not offended that “ on the buses” , tales of the unexpected and George and Mildred etc are on. Actually ditto minder, sweeny etc. Although because I’m a bit sad : the minder FB group I’m part of , people keep saying there’s a lot chopped out.

Arthur asking Terry about his “birds” isn’t acceptable anymore it seems.

Perhaps Terry was a secret twitcher or bred Finches etc.
Watched Benny Hill over Christmas... but that came with a healthy ‘ acceptable at the time’ warning.

Not exactly a postcard, but seen in public nevertheless. On bus stop advertising panels in the 1970s, but it lasted only a few weeks before the Harpies complaints to the Advertising Standards had it removed.

One of my faves, often quoted by a late office colleague

No connection beyond a satisfied customer. Slightly ruder in places, too in on the joke at times but my wife's nephews love it when i send them Bday cards from here

I think i sent "Happy Birthday! You are a C88T!" to one for his 21st and he took great delight in positioning it centre of the mantlepiece.

My wife's opinion of my intellect is low and her sisters lower yet!
