    Maybe its just around me then. We still get lots of ice cream vans in car parks around the countryside and some by city parks, but the regular estate vans have pretty much disappeared - along with the Steptoe & Sons and bicycle knife grinders!

    We don't get the knife grinders but we get Steptoe and Son, in a Transit, not a horse and cart

    The fella at Queen Street was a full on nut job dictator announcer, so forceful in his station names, I've seen women and children cowering in fear of his tannoy mutterings.

    My driver pal says he was unhinged, and a frustrated 5ft japanese General.

    Aw c’mon, I love a pint of Strongbow (unfortunately it doesn’t like me). You are correct, in a way, on the toilet front though, it does take a hammering after the ‘Bow

    When Brains had their brewery in St Mary Street there was an overwhelming hoppy smell that pervaded that area when a new batch of Cardiff laughing water was on the stove

    When i was a kid there was often a bloke (always a bloke) who used to stand next to the driver of the bus and talk utter shit to him, not always the same bloke. They were kind of Bus nutters. I wish that they were still about.

    When did that stop? Sometime in the 1980s? We all did it as kids.
