How Are The Mighty Fallen? Not yet, It Seems

Noticed this in Chapeltown the other day. Access was the first credit card I ever owned, back in 1973 – and we called it “the mighty Access card” because of all the powers it gave us to spend the phenomenal amount we were being paid in expenses for working in Bristol. Phenomenal? It was over £200 a month on top of salary, which must be around £1800 in today’s money.

The card was discontinued in 1996, so why this establishment still has a sign for it I have no idea!
