Looking for a retro Howies advert circa '98 ish

[unkleGsif]

There was Howies ad in MBUK back in the day that I have scoured the internet for, but to no avail.
It was of a path through a park with the usual council fun-sponge painted warning "No Cycling-No Skating", under which someone had chalked, "No point living!"

Like I say, many hours of net trawling over the years has drawn a blank, as has contacting Howies direct and asking them. Apparently they don't keep artwork very long
I thought that one of the mag collectors on here may know of it and scan/photograph it possibly...

Does it chime with anyone's memory banks?

I've got all the MBUKs from 1997, 1998 and 1999 so I will have a look and see if it's in there. I should be able to sort you out tonight if it's there but I won't be able to scan it in till tomorrow if that's ok?

Fantastic, fingers crossed

I've just checked the Nov and Dec 97 MBUK's and there are no Howie ad's so it points to 98 for sure.

Re:

Thinking about where I was living at the time, it could be 99/00 also....

Thanks for looking guys. Still holding out hope

Re:

Here it is, hopefully it's as you remember. It's a double page ad so I'm not going to be able to scan it I'm afraid. It's in the March 1999 edition of MBUK but it could well be in a few more, I stopped once I'd found it!

Good work fella.

I could do you a pic of a threadbare 1997 Howies jumper?

Spot on!
Thanks... Now I know which copy to look out for
