Saving up to buy something - instead of putting it on plastic or taking out a loan
Getting a mortgage on one income
Smoking in pubs
Changing the tv channel using the redifusion box on the wall (a local thing i think - we weren't allowed television ariels)
Coal fires and the coal man delivering coal. (and pit heaps and mines)
The tv licence??????? (well here is hoping)

1) still do that - mostly!
2) Got that
3) Don't smoke
4) Yep, I remember that but I was brought up in a town near Glasgow. I was just talking to my mum about it the other day (weird)
5) Yep, remember that too.
6) Don't understand about the TV licence
7) Mayfair was only razed last year and The Gate put in it's place!! :shock: What about the Handiside Arcade.. Club A Go-Go?
:P

They keep talking about scrapping the TV licence, it would be nice if the next generation had one less bill to pay

The Mayfair night club in Newcastle
I've heard about that place, but it closed long before I came up to these parts. Any recommendations for somewhere good and local to listen to loud music with guitars?
On a similar theme, I'd suggest the Hummingbird in Brum, or any of the really good (or really dodgy but still good) pubs like the Pot O' Beer, the Old Railway, the Pen & Wig, or the Toreador on a Friday/Saturday night.

Hehe
Long before the days of Fist Full Of Dollars = A Few Dollars More = The Good, The Bad & the Ugly (lol The three Mods) came galloping onto our screen in B&W that good old BBC western " Mexican Pete the Bad Bandit"
Jags = cast your mind back. Do you remember him ? or are you tooooooooo old :lol:
Fred
I remember Mexican Pete, Fred, though I seem to remember he was a character in "Hank" rather than a character under his own title....do you remember "Hank"?
I'm sure kids today would be aghast at the simplicity (or primitiveness) of some of the old children's programmes. Do you remember a man who sat drawing "Bengo the Boxer Puppy"?

CplNE_2000,
Looking at your profile it says you are 25, how can you remember coal mines? Didn't Maggie shut them all down in the 80s?
Jags, the Mayfair closed about five years ago, but there is website devoted to memories of it. If you want the address pm us. The one in the Handyside Arcade? That must have been before the dawn of time as we have been going out in Newcastle for more than 25 years (started very young) and WE can't remember that.
Deviated, for loud live music try the Dog and Parrot near the Centre for Life. Or Trillions. Sorry what did you say???
Back to the origional thread........I remember when I was a young lad, if I was off school ill, I used to hang out of my bedroom window, lived in a pub on a main road in Tyneside. During the day all you saw was women going to the shops. All the men had jobs, mostly in heavy engineering, and all the kids were in school. The pub opened at 6pm and was busy from that time with men having a few pints before they went home for tea, then they came back around 9pm for a few more pints before going home at 10-30. Who says binge drinking is new? We knew guys that got through 12 or 15 pints of Brown Ale each night.
John

Aghast !!!!!! No our grandkids would say " I knew it, they are mad".. :lol:
Another one springs to mind now = how about "Whirlygig" ??

Mike, did'nt Frankie Vaughan sum it all up in the film "These Dangerous Years" or was it Bill Hayley in "Rock Around the Clock" ???
Fred

You got me thinking now
The Aquarius in Chesterfield lol what a scruffy place!!
Baileys nightclub in Derby ....... I used to think I was soooooooo sophisticated and grown up going there!!I'm a simple country girl you see, bright lights, big city!
<Goes off to continue reminiscing>
Flamin' Norah girl... I spent many a night in the Aquarius in Chesterfield... however which decade are you referring to? As for Baileys in Derby... a certain GT of my acquaintance was the resident DJ for a few years... a bit before your time I suspect!
The English language as we know it......
Its changing almost on a daily basis with new words being added..... and some being lost forever.... Some of the street slang is very difficult to understand unless you happen to have a teenage 'homey' who can translate for you...... lol
Great thread Sarge...... or in the street vernacular... 'wicked' !!!!!!!

True, equi-princess, but once in a while a word comes back from the past. My sister used to say "soz" for "sorry" when we were kids (sixties this would have been), and that's come back now, at least in online speak. And "dosh" for money is another word that came back recently from way back in my childhood. I wonder what the next word or expression to undergo a revival will be!
Mike.

I was born in 1979 so can remember the 80's lol, My Primary school looked out onto a pit heap, although that pit had closed years before. There were coke works in my area until a few years ago.
