Things We Had Growing Up

Sally James on Tiswas. I know now that she was mainly there for the dads but I recall the "garter" segment where it soon became obvious that the Roayl Navy rather liked her too.

 

Me too - bunch of old c*nts on here then !!!!

 

I had one of these.
Awesome program..
Also wanted a blow up doll of Colonel Deering but that’s a “hole” different story

 

Probably more for the Scottish contingent - My brother and I found these two beauties in the back of my mums cupboard a few weeks back while clearing the house! They Expired in 1996. A staple of 1970’s/80 Scottish households and a reminder of simpler times.

 

i remember getting that for a treat..if we were good

 

Ewwww @ coffee flavour choc...!!

 

2001? Really?? Sheesh I remember all sorts ads and really thought that was younger than that.

 

Just spent 30 minutes reading through this thread, what a laugh and some very fond memories.
Don't think it has been mentioned, what about petrol rationing in the 70's and the 50mph national speed linit?

 

I

What’s this “speed limit” that you speak of? Surely you mean “running in period.”??

 

A damn good thrashing!

 

I now appreciate all sorts of things that might otherwise have passed me by

 

Yes. (hangs his head).

 

In the 70's the national speed limt was reduced from 70 to 50mph to reduce the UK national fuel consumption during a fuel crisis. Petrol rationing vouchers where issued, but their use never implemented. Happy days eh!

I’ve still got my petrol rationing books, just waiting to hear when I can start using them

 

Yup, big queues at petrol stations and people following petrol tankers not knowing if they were full or empty

 

Yep so do I some where in my filing cabinet........ Guess if I went looking I could find them as well. Glad somebody else remembers!
