    watching....crackerjack, andy pandy, handful of songs, captain pugwash (oooh so naughty!), the clangers, dangermouse, batfink, fingerbobs, playaway, making your mum her mother's day present out of an old washing up liquid bottle with the top cut off to hold her 'kitchen accessories' after watching Blue Peter, being allowed to watch 'adult programmes'...crown court, within these walls, bouquet of barbed wire, tales of the unexpected....emerdale farm when it was a farm and all the programme consisted of was annie sugdens shepherd's pies and a cow giving birth....

    Saturday morning cinema for children with the very first Batman pictures in black and white. They always left the end of each episode as a cliff hanger to get you to go back the next week.

    When Bonfire night was a real occasion, the fires were enormous and it lasted for days. Homemade toffee apples.

    Spangles were always the last to go out of the selection boxes at Christmas.

    We could walk to and from school alone.

    Saturday Grandstand ( I hated that).

    My most vivid memory was on a Saturday night The Six Million Dollar Man was on telly, I was only about five and I was just allowed to watch the start when Steve Austin jumped over the cars, then I had to go to bed[msncry][msncry]

    I always wanted a chopper[msneek]or a grifter but I got a ladies bike with a white leather bag on the front.

    This is fun

    I remember being in bed and my parents watching The Saint with Roger Moore. I remember hearing the theme tune then falling asleep.

    me too i hated grandstand! but i loved watching the wrestling! kids today just dont know proper wrestling!![msnwink] jacky pallo, giant haystacks , big daddy, as Paula was saying about the bonfires, walking home alone, see the kids today will never understand what we had and what we did, the entertainment we made for ourselves that cost NOTHING!!!
    we could go out all day and come in when hungry! for jam sandwiches for tea,

    life was great for me i was born in sept 1960, whats everyone elses year? my favourite year was 1975 a bit before and a bit after!! my school days were the best!!!

    I sat around with a friend one evening and we played "Court Room" every two minutes one of us would say, "Jury Member when....We used to collect glass pop bottles and take them back to the "Off License" for the 2 old pence back on the bottle. If you collected enough you could get a bag of chips for sixpence and a bottle of Cresta, it was frothy man. It had a very cool looking white bear on the label.
