Flanko Fin Barr… yep i still got a panda my mum got me back in the 60s.
Lucy Pappas… I remember filling up books and books of greenshield stamps. No idea what we swapped them for!
Alan Esdaile… Remember going for an interview for a warehouse job in the Green Shield Stamp shop in Castle Street. Queued with others for about a hour and when it was my turn, they said I was too young for the job but gave me a cigarette for waiting!
Mark Gilham… I remember getting into huge trouble trying to cash these in at Wadhurst Post Office when I was about 8
Jim Breeds… As far as i recall the first supermarket in Hastings was Victor Value, and when it closed G S opened their shop there. Now Argos.

Dave Nattress… I think….there was once a rival S and H Pink Stamps – genuine I think. Also did not the small Green Shield Stamps eventually change size – becoming bigger and having a different design.
Sarah Harvey… I remember playing a ‘Green Shield Stamp’ Fruit machine down at the Hastings Leisure Centre (Beneath Aquarius). Rather than pay out money when you won, it paid out Green Shield Stamps……. there was an S&H Pink Stamp Fruit Machine too. The exchange for Green Sheild Gifts in Hastings was the shop that is now Argos.
Jan Warren… used to love them, saved them all the time for things, much better than the “reward” cards we get now
Eugene Hughes… What about pink stamps too! Weren’t they from Fine Fare?
Hastings & St Leonards tourism bizarre advert at the time…
