Pleased to report that if you took a photo with a 1980s 110 camera outside the 6th form centre at break and got a pic from 40 years ago it'd be hard to spot the difference ....except vapes rather than roll ups ....and a few more hoodies ....

I'd forgotten about this Mortlake! Thanks for the link and reminder! Army surplus was such an easy look to replicate! In Head On Cope laments how unjust it was that Bill Drummond gave the Bunnymen the camouflage backdrop and not The Teardrops (maybe the beginning of the end of their relationship!).
