Lol wheatpenny  - the penny just dropped  - so t speak.   I honestly thought you were mixing this thread up with that other one where someone urges you to have some tinnies with us in celebration.

But you were referring to offspring weren't you?   How dense of me.  Was that an actual slogan at the time?    Bet  it produced a few funnies at the time.   I can think of a few now. :)

 

Yeah, that was  a slogan during the post-WW2 era, when the government was trying (again) to raise the birthrate to populate the country.
That slogan and the family money payments.
The slogan is gone, but the "2 bob a weeK" is still there from what I hear.
