Cars backfiring

Ice cream vans' jingles on housing estates

Police batons banging on riot shields (still happens but not like the 70s and 80s)

Ghetto blasters

Aren't the boy racer drilled exhaust noises effectively backfiring?

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 sound of an open fire being “drawn”

The ‘whoosh’ of the on fire Echo going up the chimney when drawing the fire, nearly followed by your hands, followed by a ‘f*cking ‘ell’.

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.

My father once set fire to the sleeves of his shirt thankfully he had a flagon of Strongbow at hand.

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:yikes:
