Trip down Memory Lane

[penfold93]

After my post on the vacuum cleaner thread and the thread on the summer of 76 it made me go a bit misty eyed about the things we took for granted that have gone

1. Alpine Pop delivery lorry
2. Mann's Beer delivery lorry
3. Park rides such as the 'Witches Hat' and the 'Rocking Horse' and huge slides with a little caged area at the top.
4. TISWAS, Swap Shop, WDY, Flashing Blades, Flash Gordon, Chopper Squad, CHiPs etc
5. Playing army or Cowboys and Indians in the street with replica weapons
6. Playing outside!
7. The local Bobby!
8. Amstrad Tower Hi - Fi's

• · TOTP
• · People in the block wanting to meet up in the bar, socialise, drink beer, hit nightclubs, and it being OK to have a one night stand with an ugly bird
• · Being able to do stupid stuff without someone sticking it on SnapFaceTubeItter
