Talking about the “old” days last night

[Cyncoed Slumdog]

Kid up my street his old man had a huge porn mag collection. When they moved me and my mate hit the jackpot when we went through the stuff they had chucked out during the move

I'm surprised you're not blind.

What were those bits of stick which were sold in sweet shops. They were vaguely licorice in taste and would fray after they'd been chewed for ages?

Spanish root

Thanks.
Does anybody else remember trying to get hold of a copy of Spick & Span ( probably my first sight of nipples) or Health & Efficiency (topless girls doing exercises or throwing a beach ball!).

Didn't H & E photoshop ladies' lady gardens so that it just showed a flat and featureless surface down there?

Edit: like this...

There used to be a small corner ‘shop’ in Wellington street near to Kitchener road school called Ma’s
You could buy for a penny or tuppence an old fish paste pot of your favorite flavored pop
Stood there drinking like it was in a western saloon

I remember ciggies called Dominoes that used to come in little paper envelopes containing 4 fags. (The old dear in the paper shop used to sell them in singles as well).
Referring to the earlier comment, my wife and I still say we're going to tape programmes - on our Sky box.

I used to stick a coke can against the back wheel and it sounded like a motorbike.

I used to make a mean peg gun. Quite dangerous in hindsight!

I miss playing mob, and run out. Can't imagine kids play those games these days.
