When I was a boy, this new exiting item of clothing came out called a body warmer. functional and fashionable, great!


About 10 years ago, my wife bought one, except this one wasn't a body warmer, oh no, this one was a Gillet:curse:

2 years ago, my daughter bought one, not a body warmer, still a gillet but this time pronounced 'Jillay' :curse::curse:

Bloody fashion people, invent your own stuff instead of re-naming old shite


Whinge over, happy again now

You definately are giving away your age zx81,s and bodywarmers tell us all, but yes i feel old too when my daughter thinks her age group are the first ones to wear what we would have called ra ra skirts!

And kids have re-defined the word Grebo too. Damned younger generation, no respect, beck in my day...., don't know they're born grrrrrr

Oh I know when granny was lad!!!!

now you are repeating yourself!!!!

OOPS, pressed the button twice, see there's another thing with ZX81's, they had hammer sensitive buttons so this would never have happened

I knew I wouldn't get away with that, you're too sharp for this time in the morning

don't mention zx81s they are a sore subject still in my household we were newly married and skint and he shelled out for one of those! I hated the thing for depriving me of nights out in my ra ra skirts

Oh the memories of me out in my ra ra skirt!





Did I say that out loud??

Only at weekends though eh

ooh can I see a picture

what colour was yours? and did it just cover your bum or was it longer

Don't worry mate, you are more clued up than me. I don't have the bloody foggiest what you are talking about!

ah this is where that thread went, seems i too am getting a little old and having a senile moment, gone are the days of blonde one's

So who remembers leg warmers? kids today think they invented them! I remember my Nan knitting me some! cor can you imagine that nowadays, chav or what!!!

Also had one of those scarves wth the tasslely bits and gold thread though it and a pair of chelsea boots!

Me and me Brov had a real treat when our Dad brought home our first nintendo wee, it was a TV games box, nearly as big as the tV itself and we palyed tennis on it!!!! cant remember what it was called but we thought it was the bees knees!

eve x

We had the same one I think, was it orange with 2 'remotes' with dials on em? What a great game.

And here's one Rediffusion, changing the channels on the wall, oh the memories
