Default One day for life
I purchased a book in 1987 called One day for life - anyone remember it?

On 13th August 1987 the public was challenged to take pictures of whatever seemed to them to capture best the essence of Britain in the pattern of their lives. This was then, the largest photographic event the world had ever seen. The proceeds went to charity.

I'd had this book on the shelf ever since and today picked it out for a look. It is a fantastic production and if you ever get a chance of buying one, I'd recommend it! It is a wonderful snapshot of Britain 22 years ago.

Sounds like a good book Andrew, that can give an insight into more than just 80's Britain. I will watch out for it. PAUL

It's definitely a good book Paul, I just looked on Amazon and you can get one for 1p plus £2.75 p&p! Now, that doesn't make it sound very good does it? But I thoroughly recommend it.
