Things that you just don't see now!

I op'd a thread on General Chit Chat about 3 weeks ago entitled "Childhood Sweets.. Gobstoppers, Liquorice Wood etc" which had a remendous response from the old timers, and the young un's on SF. It brought back lovely memories for a lot of people.

 

If you take the time to do a search, which is not difficult, you may be able to add to the joy that many of us had reading the posts.

 

Just a suggestion, I am not trying to advertise.....

Penny Beechnut machine's. Free packet every fourth coin, waiting round the corner till somebody used it. Old ladies fetching a gill of stout from the pub. Cars with running boards, always painted black. Milk men are a dying breed these days. Box Brownie camera's, Boy's Brigade, Scout's, Brownie's, Church band's on whit sunday. Kid's with no heel in the socks, and no arse in the trousers.

A similar thread was opened way back in 2004, probably with more memories than the thread you "opened" , its here

Desy,

Re Snakebelts- I used to wear them in the late 1960s as a small boy. To my great surprise, I saw some for sale in the John Lewis store in the Trafford Centre [near Manchester] recently. Nostalgia nearly got the better of me, but my wife persuaded me that 44 year old lecturers do NOT wear Snakebelts. Spoilsport! She will be cancelling my 'Dandy' comic next...
