I Remember When I Was A Lad ( Or Lady.. Ducbird)

Outside toilet with no lights.
Izal toilet paper (paper cuts on your ring)
Reflective arm bands to use when you walked to school.
The feeling of power when I finally had my fizzy run in and first fully opened the throttle

 

oh i just miss that smell of napalm in the morning.

 

I'm pretty sure Izal was responsible for my dislocated shoulder

 

So were you a shiny side or dull side person?

 

OOO Radio Times and Reveille. Lah-de-dah. We had to use thorn bushes and nettles we were so poor....

 

We were so poor we had to use nettles and thorn bushes after everyone else had used them, then we used them for a brew

 

Who could forget Sally James on Tiswss, twitch material .

 

Hey don't knock it till you've tried it, when you're poor then a free supply of anti agieng cream and money for the rent is a welcome thing. Why do you think toilets used to be outside for poor people

 

I used to live in Crystal Palace in 1980 and locally these were called a Brixton briefcase, some of them were fantastic, some were just loud and shite sounds but watching people having these wardrobes on their shoulders was always worth watching for a giggle

 

Jack Hargreaves and 'Out of Town' on a Friday evening.

 

Tightlines!

 

Shiny, that's how I ended up with a tiger stripe up my back and a dislocated shoulder

 

Full of innuendo

 

Its Hugh, Pugh, Barney, McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub.
