Brightly coloured speedos. Factor two sun cream. Lounging with a cocktail and cigarette by a chlorinated pool while the kids learn archery. This astonishing archive of nostalgic images of British tourists abroad were taken during the heyday of the package holiday.

How sweet. And idlyllic. Oddly, not even one of the denigrating photos used in context to other nationalities, even when the topic has nothing to do with the denigrating photo. Ok, maybe not so odd. It's tabloid media after all.
I think Trevor's real story is the early days of pop and fashion when he was right amongst it. I remember stories back in the 80's I think, in this paper of people he met and photographed. Far more interesting than photos of brits on holiday, many looking like lobsters , photos thousands of us have in old family albums
Happy Days!
