When I was a kid I used to make fruit bowls and ashtrays for my Mum and Grandmothers out of 78's. Bung them in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes and they become pliable. Cheap Christmas presents!

I'm talking mid 50's, so yes, ashtrays, everybody smoked then. Not me though, as I was only 8 or 9

I've never smoked (well not habitually anyways) but I am familiar with ashtrays .... didn't the fags melt your handiwork though?

I have no idea, I was more interested in the sweets my Mum gave me for making her a present!
