April 2019 is an important anniversary for UKVending as it marks our fiftieth year of serving our customers with outstanding vending machines and service. The machines and their contents may have changed considerably over the years and technology has been incorporated into everyday machines that in 1969 would have looked like it was straight from a science fiction movie, so we thought we’d look back throughout April to the events that coloured the news fifty years ago today.

23rd April 1969

The haunting words and music of Noel Harrison’s The Windmills of your mind was at the top of the UK charts this week. The song was featured in the movie The Thomas Crown Affair starring Steve McQueen.

Robert F Kennedy’s assassin Sirhan Sirhan was convicted of his murder and was sentenced to die in the gas chamber at California’s infamous San Quentin State Prison. He would, however, spend the rest of his life in jail having been saved from execution in 1972.
