I remember when..................

[williamalex1]

I remember when you only felt dressed when you wore a three piece suit a button down collar shirt and tie , winkle picker shoes and your hair greased with brylcreem , 10 shillings in you pocket and you were rich as a king.

Peter Kay was funny

 

[alnecosse]

The National Anthem was played on TV at the close of viewing for the evening - at about 11.30 :lol:

When going to the football was enjoyable and a good day out and you didn't have to sit on plastic seats in a soulless stadium

 

[Iaing]

Golf balls were 1.62".
You went to a record shop to buy music.
Sweetie cigarettes.

When.......

Starburst were called Opal Fruits.

When petrol was under 70p a litre as I'd just passed my test and thought it was expensive but compared to now Bargain!

Global Hyper Colour t-shirts were cool.

I think we may come from the same time...

I still do this. Well, maybe some online but it's still records that I buy :thup:

I could understand the offside rule, and all players on the pitch were active.

 

[SocketRocket]

You bumped into someone and they said sorry!

Policemen rode bicycles, wore capes and came down your street.

Boys belts had snake head buckles.

We rented a television from Redefusion.

You paid a penny deposit on a bottle and got it back when you returned the bottle.

We played cricket in the road.

...and McCowan’s Highland Toffee penny chews (green wrapper) had a soft toffee covering to the hard centre. I always nibbled off the soft covering before eating the chewy bit (which tended to be excellent at removing fillings)

Old English Spangles....they were truly awful.

Global Hyper Colour t-shirts were cool.

Genuinely have no idea if these were real things - you oldies could be having a right windup and I'd have no idea

 

[Imurg]

We played cricket in the road.

We used the school tennis courts - Garden chair as a wicket and old cricket or hockey balls.


I remember when around here was all fields.......

jimbob you can just post something that is relevant to your age group.........like 'I remember when the latest iPhone was the iPhone4' ??

 

[Liverbirdie]

Trophy "5"'s were the ball of choice.

Other wooden things;- Tennis bats, morris minors (I think).

3 channels on the telly, 50p in the back.

In Rhyl every 100 yards would be gangs of "smellies", punks, skinheads.

Cans of coke were 12p.

You could get on a bus as a scholar and travel 10 miles and more for 4p.

Liverpool fc were quite good. Some memory, eh?

 

[Pin-seeker]

Commando was a good film. Loved it as a kid.cant watch it now.

 

[tyke]

Britain was great.

You could buy a new overcoat, a bag of oranges, go to the cinema and still have change from a farthing.
