Major Isewater Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Corona. With the bottles you got money back for returning. Also flavoured Dairy Lea triangles. Used to love the tomato and celery flavoured ones as a kid. Why were they stopped - apart from monumental amounts of e-numbers? And why do you never see Sven Hassel books any more? Every boy at our school was familiar with the tales of lovable Nazis Joszef Porta, Tiny Creudzfeldt and Willy Beier. Ah Corona ,i grew up in Worle where the building site was the biggest in Europe at the time.Workmen would just leave their bottles hanging around And the deposits were another source of income for yours truly ! That and mucky magazines ! they would stash them on site but not well enough ! What happened to the top shelf ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Sweet cigarettes as mentioned, you used to have a competition with your mates to see who could suck one the thinnest without breaking. You could with patience get it to a needle like thickness. Also as mentioned the coconut tobacco shreddings, and also chocolate cigars you had to unwrap. Imagine giving kids a pouch of sweets that resembled tobacco today! Smoking on the top deck of buses, you'd get on and barely find your way to a seat sometimes as I was just a thick haze. Smoking in pubs, yes I know it's a recent happening in the scheme of things but seeing old films and series on tv now where people smoke in pubs and at football is just seems strange now. People in cars without seatbelts. I used to go to school everyday on an open back bus, primary school aged pack in like sardines. We used to all be jumping around, swopping seats etc. we had to go up a really steep hill, how we all didn't fall out the back I'll never know. No health and safety then! Only 3 tv channels, bbc1,bbc2 and itv. And only one tv in the house, if you didn't watch watch what your parents watched there was no tv for you. And programmes weren't on in the morning, except for schools. If you wanted to watch something you had to be sat down and ready as there was no possible way of recording it, no second chance to view. The only football match on was the FA cup final, the streets would be deserted no matter who was playing. Progress, what progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Old school buses, they used to supply the oldest tattiest open rear platform ones for us - big mistake must have cost the Bristol Omnibus Company a small fortune in replacement screw-in light bulbs!! (erm, if you know what I mean) ... The road between Banjo Island (yeah, I lived in Gas country ) up Cow horn Hill to Oldland Secondary Modern Boys School was regularly littered with shattered bulbs lobbed out of upstairs bus windows. Domestic Light Bulbs - bloody EU - I miss my old Osrams, Mazda's 60w/100w bulbs, these new energy savers just don't give as good a light IMO...

pongo88 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Wooden football rattles. I saw someone at the Wimbledon v Liverpool match with one, but that's the first time for years. I'm sure they would be classified as an offensive weapon these days, so I'm surprised he got it into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 ABC minors Whiteladies Rd on a saturday morning .Some kids paid and most got let in free by their mates by the emergency exit Anybody remember the same Saturday cinema at the Vandyke in Fishponds? The old boy Hitler lookalike in charge of the queue outside, so officious and vindictive - to a bunch of 10year-old schoolchildren. I saw him a few years later on the centre - pushing a handcart whilst sweeping the roads: I so wished I was walking so that I could have re-introduced myself and reminded him just what a vindictive bastard he used to be - not standing in line so to the back of the queue and threatened with not being allowed to enter.
