Playing "Chinese ropes" (elastic bands all joined together) in the primary playground.

 

My two earliest TV memories

 

 

 

 

My favourite (pre-school) tv programme.

Yogi - "name the five original Watch With Mother programmes" was one of the questions in our pub quiz a few weeks ago.

 

Shows our age - but we got every one

Andy Pandy

The Wooden Tops

Watch with Mother

Picture Book

Rag, Tag and Bobtail?

 

That's my guess.

Never mind Rexi, at least you still have your memory..

Soozy, you missed out Bill and Ben. I think "Watch With Mother" was a collective heading for the other programmes.

It certainly was Yogi And Listen With Mother on the wireless

How c ould I possibly have forgotten Bill and Ben 

"Flobabdob".

Weeeed.... little weeeed.......

   I loved Pogles Wood 

My kids used to love Robin and Rosie of Cockle Shell Bay - they always called it 'Cockle Bell Shay'

It's coming out now isn't it 

Ah, ours was American Skippies (don't know why though) and I was posh cos I had a big piece of elastic sewn together 

It's yer age sooz

loved the singing ringing tree even if the stories were weird and the tune to Robinson Crusoe is one of my abiding memories of childhood 

No, that was just the minds of the teenage boys that read them!

 

I read all of the Mallory Towers, and I do not recall one lesbian theme.

I had a Raleigh Fourteen bike, the only bike I ever had until I was an adult an bought my own.  It looked like the kind of bike a circus monkey would ride, very tiny wheels.

 

We used to ride our bikes around the 'Wall of death' which was a waste hill on an old brick works next to where I lived.  I wasn't impressed when that old lad got sold off for house development.

 

I read all of Mallory Towers and The magic Faraway Tree.

Or buying a bag of chips on a Friday night, and it cost you 10p?
