I was so cool with my Raleigh Chopper must have been back in about 1980-82)
I saw recently that they are back (Retro!)
How I wanted to buy one! I stood gazing like a wee boy at the shop window the other week, OH slapped me on the back of the neck and pulled me up the road, and I thought, wish I had segs I would be sparking all the way home, as she dragged me along!
