awwwwwwwwww i love the olden days

I remember when I was really tiny and my mum used to plug the iron into the light on the ceiling, when the iron broke, she cut the flex off and stuck it on the gas ring. Basically I went to school with crumpled scorched clothes.

I remember my Mam telling me about in her day they used sugar and water on their hair to set their beehives and stuff.
Long story short...disco, ran out of insette, sugar and water...chased by bees...rain...golden syrup hair

I always wanted a bendy Bully

I remember when.....we climbed over the park gates and sat in the shelter in pairs...ahhhhhh young love......

miss_s, i always wanted a dusty bin.

I had a little dusty bin, it was rubbish it didn't do anything.

I don't even know what it was for, a pencil holder or something?

I had a Dusty Binn necklace and his wee legs moved

Although I remember being very shocked when I found out that you didn't win an actual Dusty Bin - you just got an ordinary garden one.

I remember looking like with the Dusty Bin Clues.....

I never got a Mr Frosty

And every xmas I asked for a magna doodle and me Mam got me an etch a sketch coz she got them muddled up

My daughter wanted Mr Frosty....Father Christmas brought it.....never worked, needed to be Desperate Dan to grind the ice....

I had a Major Morgan.

This is still a shit idea for a thread

I remember when I used to bunk off school around my friends uncles house, he always used to leave her money for the gas meter, we used to cut up carrots and freeze them and put them in the meter and spend the money on fags, one day there was a knock at the door, it was the gas reader man, there was a bit of defrosted carrot stuck in the slot and when he pulled out the money drawer, there was a few coins, mould & juice. We ran away from home that day.

Fuking hell you're lucky you didn't go to school with a rocket up your arse, that sounds like another inferno waiting to happen... it was better before health and safety (don't tell Mario)

Oh Syd, my friend had a peanut butter maker (very similar to the Mr Frosty) and it took about 20 sacks to make enough for one slice of toast...and super human strength

I had one of those Raggy, I loved it (and this thread )

So true

oh,poppet beads, and waspie belts,(dressed to kill)

I remember making stilts out of tin cans and string, now those buggers would slice your feet off if you fell!

And buying bags of lazzy bands to loop together to put around two bins to skip over. Now that's what's wrong with this country, how are the yoof sposed to do that with wheely bins ffs??

Raggy I remember putting carrier bags on my feet and "ice skating" on the carpet.

Oh and elastics...French Skips we called them.

Mary, last time I wore a waspy belt I Iooked like 2 links of overcooked sausage

Tis a downward spiral...

you could also make a telephone out of tin cans and string.

oh dear,ballerina shoes and bobby socks went great with the waspie.

Mary you is ANCIENT *runs*

no electric6, but my mam is.

I loved Midnight Mint chocices, with the black wrapping and an owl in front of the moon pictuer.

And trying to make our own sherbet with citric acid from the chemist, icing sugar and food colouring.

Camping in the garden all summer. My sisters making perfume out of rose petals and trying to sell it on a stall they made outside our house.

All they need is some lazzy bands, placcy bags, tin cans and string. And they say 'but there's nothing for us to do...' Boo hoo there were naff all for us to do there were no tinternets or nowt!
