I couldn’t decide on meet or meat for Debbie’s One Word Sunday so decided in the end to go for a meat meet! I didn’t take the photograph but it is in my photographic archives as it is of my paternal granddad training the next tranche of butchers for Sainsbury’s in the 1960s. Is it me or do all the young men look similar?!

I wonder if it is a very early version of the pictures you can stack together with just your grandad and one man who is moving about a lot?

They do look similar. I think it’s the long heads topped by similar hairstyles. Probably had some kind of dress code in those days too.

Think you’re probably right. Sainsbury’s was once a very particular store.

It must be the very fashionable hairstyle which makes them all look alike.

They’re definitely quadruplets. And scenes from a bygone age. Would you believe my grandson is doing the 1980s in history???

Hah, a meet meat! Great. Maybe the men are all clones, churned out to ‘meet’ the great booming butcher demands of the 1960s. 😱
