Things you had when you were young.

[N12 JLK]

During Stonies run today me and Tony were discussing chocolate bars and sweets we ate when we were young just last year;) , do you remember Texan bars, Nutty bars, Dainties. Now there may have been a thread on this before but you can add food, toys and gadgets etc from the past that bring back memories for you, and remeber to stay on topic, oh remember topics can you still get them?

[Burple]

[duncan]

Clearing out my Mum and Dads loft last week, I came across my tartan Scotland scarf - complete with Argentina 1978 logo! :eek:

[BJN]

Space dust, the proper stuff that hurt!

Although not the best idea to mix it in your mouth with Coca Cola the full fat stuff before diet was invented

[Scottie]

I loved the Skippy Bar :D Aztec bars. Bubble Gum, The Original Milky Way.

I was a massive Joe 90 fan

all my bikes were hand me downs having 5 older brothers by the time the bike got to me it was a reck. However for my 12th birthday I got my own new bike a Puch Elegance I done a few mods to that bike I can tell you.:rolleyes:

My fav TV was the High Chaparral mainly Blue Boy.

[Craig]

I had a Tomohawk bike which I got for my 7th birthday and have the scar on my forehead to prove it :eek: Hospital on my birthday.. :D

Bonanza, Why dont you? and Fraggle rock, while eating a real Highland Toffee bar before they made it for girls......

[duncan]

I always had the highland toffee covered in chocolate as my shivery bite after the swimming.

[AndyP & Lenore]

Wasn't into sweets. Still not, really. Lenore's the sweet tooth in our house.

Loved our first home computer though. Commodore Vic 20. It came with 3.5kb of ram (if I recall), but we soon added the adjustable ram pack, to give us an extra 8 or 16kb of ram.;)

Got to echo BS's comments re: vinyl. Waaaay better than CD when played on a decent deck with a good stylus, good amps and a good set of speakers.

Who here wore Shell suits?:o Not me, BTW.:D ;)

A.:D
