The wooden floor on the tube train and the springy wobbly hold on handles

leaving my bedroom window open waiting for peter pan to fly in!

green and white pacers

a great big pyramid orange push up ice thing (or was that just a weird dream :o)

doctor remus play kits when I was poorly

texan chewy bars ( I could chew on one of those for ages) and the one with all the peanuts stuck on the outside?

being able to disappear off down country paths on my bike for hours - wouldn't dream of letting my kids do that now . . .

Re: ahhhh!! remember those???

Re: ahhhh!! remember those???
 

Spangles.

The bubble gum that you got them temp' tattoos in??

Free gifts in the Beano - elastic band guns, them things that went bang when you flicked them.

On a Saturday morning we used to get in my mum and dads bed for a cuddle then Dad used to go down to make porridge, with evaporated milk and demerera sugar...yum!!! Then we'd sit in bed and eat it like the 4 bears!!

Re: ahhhh!! remember those???
 

wot were those peanut bars called? I've been trying to remember for yonks, when watching 'Life on Mars' got us remembering stuff, like the scrunchy cellophane wrapper on the Lucozade bottles . . .

yep the pacers were minty.


My boys are addicted to the french bubblegum, malabar, they have the temp tatoos now, marvel comic characters at the mo. A real bugger to scrub off when they've got school . . . Even found my OH with one on his arm! They taste like the bazooka joes used to.

Re: ahhhh!! remember those???
 

Bazooka joes! that was it, it tasted and smelt lovely, i CAN REMEMBER THE LITTLE CATALOGUES THAT USED TO LIST ALL THE THINGS YOU COULD GET WITH THE WRAPPERS, AND BEING SO SAD THAT IT AS ONLY AVAILABLE IN aMERICA!
(ooops caps!!)

Re: ahhhh!! remember those???

Re: ahhhh!! remember those???
 

I remember - weren't they called Jubblies? Mind you, I am prone to weird dreams too .......

Re: ahhhh!! remember those???
 

And what about Lucozade - had to be nearly dying to have that bought for me?

Re: ahhhh!! remember those???
 

I used to live on that when I was a kid ........ hyperactive, sure I was :D

Re: ahhhh!! remember those???
 

Yes, it was a real treat wasnt it?

Cats cradle - string patterns woven through your fingers which a friend then hooped onto her own fingers and continued the pattern. Seems like an eternity since I did that.

Re: ahhhh!! remember those???
