It has been official for some months now; Ireland’s economy is in Recession. That word, and its big brother, Depression, call forth memories of the 1980s.
But things are different now. Back then a fridge freezer was a luxury item.
We have dug deep into the Archives of Ambrand.com and come up with some brochures which exude light tan and sienna; the colours of the decade. Times were different. back then brochures actually showed diagrams of items, indeed back then car advertisements often had photographs of boots (or trunks to our American readers) to show their cavernious qualities or felt carpeted floors. Ah yes the “rule” of not including specifications on product brochures/boxes annoys this writer.
Ah, would you look at all those gorgeous colours. Orange, beige, mock wooden finishes; I wonder will these make a comeback.
