Overview

B&w photo of two young couples in fancy dress of a curious kind.
The tall man on the left has a cap with a chin strap, a T-shirt with the words "Stop it - or ...", and a man with arms held upwards, and cross of bullets (3 ) embossed on it. A striped belt is around his waist, a bow tie around his neck and odd shoes on his feet.
A women next to him is wearing trousers pulled in at the ankle, over spotted stockings and white shoes. Her blouse top is belted, two bows at the neck and chunky jewellery over all. A shorter lady near her is in a skirt, and a full top over which there is a long chain, and chunky jewellery. She wears a scarf around her head, odd coloured shoes and scarf ties around her ankles.
The man on he right wears knee length boots, overalls, a shirt and bowtie, has a pipe in his mouth and is wearing glasses.
Possibly a 'bad taste' party? 2nd from left: Jan Smith; man on right: Graham Smith.
