Jesus - did we really ride round on things that look as unsafe as that. It looks unstable. Wow.

 

Must be worth a bit now though.

I've lived then

 

Happy days, although I spent a massive part of my time playing Space Invaders on my Sinclair Spectrum 48k (still do actually)

 

But, there were 2 things that I don't think were in the list. (May have been, but I don't remember what their names were)

 

Little plastic trains and space rockets which you could buy at the sweet shop, and they were filled with sherbert..... and the box of cigarettes that you could buy... not to smoke, but to eat.

 

Who remembers those???

Getting rid of the 1/2 penny was the worst thing that ever happened to pick and mix everything doubled in price over night

Sticking cards in the spokes of my Grifter and getting that motorbike sound, mate you've brought back some great memories with that thread.

Cheers Ratman.
