Title: So you think you know history?
Post by: fsn on 12 March 2023, 06:47:24 AM
Can you tell when these photos were taken?

I find I'm quite good at guessing photos from the 1900-1930, but atrocious at 1990-2020.

Warning: This can be quite addictive.

Averaging 3960 and like fsn the older the photo the more accurate I am.

No surprise perhaps, given that these days I can remember my childhood but not what I had for breakfast! :)

I got 2395...  :-[

I do feel a bit cheated that one from the 1950s had been digitally coloured in to throw me off the scent.

I could waste most of the day with this.  I've just realised I do remember the 1960s so I was definitely there.  What did I miss?

Oh for the sake of Milady's dimpled wrist!
