Rumour has it that British comedian Benny Hill (1937-1992) based his entire oeuvre on these seaside postcards. In the seventies, millions of tourists actually bought cards like these and mailed them to their family, friends and loved ones to show them what a splendid holiday they were having. Nothing said ‘Good Times’ in the seventies more than great weather, lovely water, beautiful beaches, a little nudity and some major misogyny. Grin grin, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more.
