LOVED my spirograph

and was fantastic going out on my BMX (yes I was a bit of a tom boy)

and who could forget ATARI - PAC MAN and Space Invaders (bought a version of that for my pc but its not as good as I remember) and before that commodor 64, what a nightmare they were

The little pictures you held up to the light to see, they were given with the round packets of cheese triangles (Dairylea?)

The 64 was the amount of kilobytes of RAM it had. I don't think I could use Photoshop on one of those. Mind you my first mac - a IIci I think - only had 5 megabytes.

It's strange this nostalgia thing, I'm supposed to be working but little memories keep floating back over the mists of time.

When mum sent me shopping I used to have to quote her Co-op number which I can still remember now, 40 years on. If I came home without the saving stamps there was hell to pay.

36206

Yo Yo competitions at Saturday morning pictures.
Black and white Flash Gordon serial every week, I bought a DVD of it a few weeks ago at a car boot in Fuengirola. lol

Oh yes, Saturday morning pictures - 6d to get in I think

Just found a clip of Flash... I thought it was magic

I've stiil got a whole bagful of silver sixpences. I use them as golf markers. Does anyone remember the Corona man?

I do

Yep, and bottles with the wired on top, shake like hell then flick the top off. lol
Even better a bottle of coke, put a sugar cube on the top and smack it in with your hand, empties the bottle in a nano second. ;-))

Taking empty pop bottles back to the pub to get the deposit back.....we used to sneak into the yard, get the bottles then go in to get the deposit

I bought a bottle of Tizer a little while back. It was bloody horrible. Tastes change I suppose.

I used to have a Sindy doll and a tiny tears doll.
