Double X jeans..can't find a photo of them but they were crap big X on the back pockets, they had big turn ups not because they looked cool, but just incase you were a giant you could turn them down..paper thin and i remember they cost 7/6 (37.5p for our younger members)
Ha ha definitely wern't levis, they didn't have a make stamped on them (Who would admit to making them) we just nicknamed them double Xs
Anyone remember loons? The tighter the fit up top the better, leave nothing to the imagination and the flares so wide health and safety would ban them nowadays as a trip hazard!! Mine were gold and could take10 mins to get on
Please say you have a picture of yourself wearing them..never heard the term loons before..apart from loon as in the Doric meaning a young lad..
Leaches. I remember coming home from playing in the river, water over the top of my wellies and having to go to my neighbours that smoked, to get her to burn them off with a lit fag !!! This happened about twice a year on average Can you image that happening nowadays ?
Had one of those - thought I was James Hunt ( no not cockney ryming slang before any one goes there )
From time to time when I was a little kid my mum used to approach me with a fizzing glass of this stuff in her hand :- uttering the words "right lad, I thing you're ready for a dose of Andrew's Liver Salts". She never said why. I used to pretend to hate it but really I liked it because it was very fizzy. Sadly she's not around to ask but I reckon I was probably given a dose after issuing a series of putrid farts.
