Test your observational skills by spotting the 13 deliberate mistakes in this 1963 puzzle for children

Being a child in Britain in 1963 was a wildly different experience than for kids of today. When the weather was too bad for scrumping apples or playing with your hoop and stick then you couldn’t just go to your room and stream Bluey or play Roblox until your eyes melted. No – you had to read books or do crochet or just stare at the walls.
