pop made at home not the stuff from the alpine man that dyed the inside of a mug green but your very own home made cola in a tiny bottle with a pretty crappy flavour.

just thought of a very apt one for this site.
Contact Mags.
my old man had loads in the 70's and 80's (scary thought if you are reading this dad bugger off).
scruffy little black and white 20 page magazines with very stunted adverts and grainy pictures of naked people in their living room. how many of hese companies did the the internet kill then?
another thought were did the above advertisers go to get the photos developed before didgital cameras cause i dont think boots does prints like those?

17 Mar 2004

ok , most stuffs been mentioned, glad someone remembered the pacer sweets, i loved the adverts when the ice skaters ate one the their white outfits turned green stripy .
cabana bars, like a topic but had cherrys in them, can you remember nuttys? hummm a child hood filled with putting stuff in my mouth lol not much has changed there redface

i loved the corona opo bottles, you could save them up and get 10p back, hu and the generations of today rekon they invented recycling.
ok one more marbles rotflmao

al you needed was a few balls and a drain , little things please little minds ehh

Good point Fred. As this is a swinging website (for adults only), we should perhaps only be allowed to post on the forums after 9pm, and the rest of the day just have a test card showing. lol

What about newspapers only being black and white ??
I can't remember the first newspaper to go colour or the year, sorry.

Think the first colour newspaper was Eddy Shah's 'Today'.. In fact, a quick google brought up this..
March 4 1986 - launch of the Today by Eddy Shah, sold as the first national colour newspaper.
Sept 14 1986 - launch of the Sunday Sport newspaper. :lol:
On all the sweets that everybody misses, a quick trip to Makro will find you 90% of these.. bought a box of swizzles drumsticks the other day biggrin

One of the things I used to love as a kid were 'bones' from smiths crisps.. cool black packet.. instant playground credibility if you had them in your lunchbox.. (which was a proper metal one, not one of these naff plastic ones they have today)
And I really miss the fact that when I was a kid, I and my parents knew and spoke to everyone on our street (and most of the surrounding ones).. Nowadays, I know my neighbour to the left of me.. thatâ€™s it.. confused

One of the things I don't miss is our primary schools ravioli.. :shock:

The Clangers were cool, but not quite as good as Chorlton & The Wheelies, at least in my opinion. Having said that, it's the complete Bagpuss that has pride of place in my DVD collection.

Rhubard and Custard were Great biggrin

Also used to like Ivor the Engine, and the Dragons (wish I could do the accent) :D
I remember the Polar Bear that advertised a fizzy drink, was it lemonade confused

: He used to say 'Its Frothy man' . As a kid I loved him :D
Then there was my favourite comic, called 'Action' It got banned in the end I believe, damn shame :cry:
Wish I still had my Raleigh Chopper, worth a lot more than the Â£25, I sold it for :D
