Many cafes and newsagents had these installed into the exterior wall of thier shops. Not seen one like it since the 70's. Is this the last of it's kind :?:

Apart from Kensitas Club I don't think these Benson & Hedges brands are around these days

If anyone has 2/6 in old money they can purchase the above ::):

Given that that's a computer shop, I suspect it's borrowed the name from the Jolly Roger, a part of the infamous Anarchists' Cookbook which first went online back in 1991 on BBSs.

It's basically a big book on hacking (now obsolete) phone systems, how to make your own RDX, pick locks, and do all manner of nasty things. Freely available online, however if you can't be arsed looking then might I suggest you click HERE.

Yes, I tried a lot of it out. Yes, it worked...

They only filmed the first ones there - the rest used archive footage of the outside and a studio for the inside, much to Moyra Jane's dismay, because she wasn't getting paid for it.
