Gonks, etch a sketch, my first tape recorder which was the size of a house brick and as heavy and my record player which i could stack 20 singles on , cool eh !!!!
OMG! I'd forgotten all about 'Gonks' lol
Was your record player a 'Dansette' Jackie?
Wooden platform shoes that bruised my ankles cos I kept kicking myself when I walked.
Hotpants
Tank Tops
Cheesecloth Shirts
Jeans you had to wear while sitting in a bathful of water, to make them shrink to fit.
Proper flares!! / Bell bottom jeans / trousers, that fitted at the waist not half way down your legs like they wear 'em today, with their undies on show, GROSS!!
When are they going to make high waist jeans / trousers again? We're not all comfortable in the low waisters.
The only high waisted jeans I found were at Bonmarché nowhere else had them and even Bonmarché don't have them in anymore.
Mind you it's probably for the best, come to think of it, I'd prob not get my tea belly (I don't drink beer) in the zip lol
POND !!!!!!! really??????
BE Carefull........I had a FULL set of METAL BRACES back then..(in gob,,,not legs.)
Hey I know u ,ur only after one thing! My NO.6s !!!!!!!!
Ruby x Dont drag me!!!! im coming!
No 6,the best fag ever made ! My mates used to nick 20 regal from the local paper shop but i never had the courage to do it (really glad now). Hair down my back ( them were the days),Crombie coats,tonic (two tone) trousers,como shoes which me grandad used to put segs in the heels to stop me wearing them down.Walking the bloody greyhounds every morning before school for me pocket money.Door key round me neck on a piece of bailer twine (itched like hell) cuz me mam didnt get home from work till half an hour after i got in. Loyal Mates !,still got them now 40 years on. Not every thing was good but a damn site better than what todays kids have to look forward to.
Thats great Ruby,really loving dogs and deserve to go to a good home when their racing life is over.Too many put down because they no longer have a use.I have a border collie (went back home to N Wales to get her,always have one of these and always will.Best friend i could ever have.Her name is Rhian and she is everything to me.As for the greyhounds i think they are a special dog but my memory is clouded by soaking wet mornings,freezing cold and knackered body and me grandad who would ride his bike to a couple of strategic spots to ensure i was doing the full walk and not short cutting to get home early.Always had a jack russel as well to help me control the buggers when they decided that one of the local cats was well worth a chase.
