I remember when we got BBC2 on our telly for the first time
when the telly wasn't 24hours,
our first colour TV
felt tip pens being on Tomorrow's World.
Orange fizzy drinks that made your skin tingle as the chemicals kicked in.
Buying blocks of ice cream, wrapping them in newspaper and rushing home before it melted.
Not being interested in football
Bloody hell I'm old

Someone mentioned the Banana Splits! I'd completely forgotten about them and Animal Magic.
Corona Lemonade was fantabulous, you got 2p for taking the bottle back I think.
Birthday parties with a dodgy home-made cake (usually decorated with smarties), butterfly cakes and egg sandwiches.
My first computer - a green screen with white lines on which was some kind of tennis game. Later on I upgraded to a ZX spectrum which I still have and still works... loading the tapes and going all kooky-eyed at the stripey screen. Hacking into the programmes and changing the game functions. Manic Miner, Horace, Frogger.
My first 7" Suzanne Vega and first LP U2's October or Boy can't remember which - both were at the disgust of my mother.
Tape recorders that were flat and you could record on by just talking into the microphone bit - I used to spend hours recording my own radio shows and stories and interviewing friends. I still have on recording and it's hilarious.
Rubbing play dough into the carpet is one of my earliest memories as I remember the telling off and the smell of the stuff.
Standing in awe at the local fire station and calling them Angus and Dennis (the brands of vehicle I think but I thought it was their names). We don't have local stations anymore.
Playschool and little bottles of milk.

OMG!!!
I thought I was the only person in the world who remembered Pogles Wood..............Plant and his Bilberry wine!
We (me and my sister) used to spend every Wednesday night with my Gran.
In the Winter we used to make toast by holding on the end of a fork in front of the open coal fire.
And she made me go to bed at the same time as my sister, who is 3 years younger, because my sister got upset if I was allowed to stay up. But she'd tell me to stay awake, and then she came to get me when my sister was asleep!!!
Thinking Bernard Matthews Turkey Drummers were the height of sophistication!!!
