What a great thread! brought all the memories flooding back. What about Curlywurlys? they used to be HUGE too, and getting 20p pocket money every Friday rushing up the chip shop for a packet of chips and bits, a HUGE bottle of Ben Shaws pop and still have change for half a dozen black jacks.

Can relate to the go-kart bit too - bloody hurts when the wheel falls off Also raiding for apples and bombing off on our bikes as the owner came running out. Quite right about the being out all day, as long as I was in when the street lights came on I was OK - if not it was a thick ear.

Happy days.

Pocket money was 20p and that would buy me a quarter of pear drops and either a Mars bar or a packet of crisps. (Mars bars and crisps tasted better BEFORE they put them in foil to keep the flavour).

Now if you were to give my kids a piece on jam they would be absolutely mortified

Having to buy the Radio Times AND the TV Times as they wouldn't list each other's programmes.

All the shops being shut on Sunday.

Not having wrinkles.

Thinking £5 was an absolute fortune.

Wondering what the point of boys was (still don't know).

Half a crown pocket money.

Ooops. Big giveaway.

Trying to cope with decimalisation.

Feeling safe in the world.

How many of us now listen to radio 2 like our parents did in the 70's and think its the best, much better than the rubbish they play on radio 1?

I hope thats not only us!
