Hi peeps!

If there was a shop that purely specialised in nostalgia, what produce would you expect it to sell? ...say you walk into it and you go back in time...like Mr Benn's shop..for those who can remember that show?

I'll start:

Cabbage patch dolls
Spirograph
Slinky
Bunty annuals and comics
K Tel household items
Slinky
Sindy
Tiny Tears
Penny Puppy walker

Etch a sketch

Spangle sweets
Trecy dolls
victory V cough drops that have taste not like today
powder flash

Reel-to-reel tape recorders

wagon wheels

marathons.

Aztecs and Acid drops.

Ahhhhh yes. remember playing with my aunties one when I was little! Also them tape recorders you used to put next to the radio to tape the charts on a sunday!!!

Those big 8 track cassette thingys....My dad used to have one in his car when I was small!!!!!

and spangles......I used to love them!!!!!!!

swap shop annuals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Snow at Christmas
Heat in the Summer

And kids who respect their elders.

Cops who gave you a clip around the ear and weren't taken to court and suspended pending an enquiry

And there were hardly any members of the PC brigade.........

And if a light bulb went out at work you just stood on a desk and replaced the bulb instead of reporting it and waiting for three highly trained technical officers to come with a step ladder, rubber boots and a voltmeter!

Ha ha trust that was funny.
Oh for the good old days before the phrase "risk assessment" had ever been coined.

I always did that, and also left it running recording John Peel's programme on Sunday afternoons, because it was always tea time and in those days if you were "little" and could walk you never missed Sunday tea time!! I think I had a direct lead from the back of the radio to the tape recorder input, which was obviously better than putting the microphone in front of the radio speaker. Then during the next few days I would cut and splice the tape to keep the bits I wanted.
I've still got that tape recorder, actually, but don't have my own recorded tapes anymore, just some that I recently bought on the internet. And incidentally I am still little, ha ha ha!!

I'm only 22 so most of the things that I loved as a child are still around

saucer of milk for table 2

BUT...I think the whole world would be a better place if we filled it with space-hoppers, and everyone played naked ping-pong!

DON'T.JUDGE.ME

Oooooh and crab sticks!!! They're like cheese strings but..but...crabby!!

I can't hop for toffee and I always ping when I should pong and vice versa. I don't know about the naked part either - Jo Brand for example should definitely stay fully clothed at all times.

LOL!!! Good point...ok...FORGET the naked Ping-Pong...how about...DRUNK MONOPOLY???! Just think of the madness???!

OH.WHAT.FUN

Drunken Monopoly sounds good, especially thinking about the spoonerisms that people tend to say when they are drunk, and trying to remember who's go it is gets bad enough when you're sober!!

Just send me straight to jail with a bottle....new avatar Trust
