We used to advertise ‘our wares’ in a Scottish Swingers magazine. It was such a long drawn out process by comparison. Once a month we would get an envelope filled with replies! My husband and I would get so excited putting them into piles - No Way - Oh Maybe - Yes Please It was all about the Polaroid pictures hahaha

One letter with a photo enclosed said, if you don’t like the look of me, please pass on to a friend, seriously?!

Aaah the good old days

I’m sure a remember a magazine the size of a football program that came out about every 3 months called Scots Swingers or Swing Heaven. I’m sure it covered northern England and Scotland.

You contacted the add through a P.O. box

This was late 90s right up to early 00s

Waiting on the envelope from the PO Box was very exciting! lol

I always wondered how true the old pampas in the front garden story was ?

Scottish rendezvous was an A5 sized swingers magazine.

Lack of access to a Polaroid and staying at my parents house meant I used it more as a scud book than a swingers service. Much the same as I do here...

Can you imagine how disappointing it would be getting your letters in the post and they all say 'hows you?'

I used to use a magazine called matchmakers, you used a P.O. box number. I did have quite a lot of foreign adverts in it.
