More business with garden centres. 'Double Stamps' refers to Green Shield Stamps, a sort of philately based loyalty scheme which was starting to die out at that point. The idea was that you were awarded a certain number of stamps according to how much money you spent. You took the stamps home and collected them in special savings books, and after five years you had enough stamps to swap for a toaster. The Green Shield stamps catalogue would always have in it something completely unattainable, like a Ford Cortina for half a million books of stamps.
