I remember them I was living in children's home at that time and we used to have to march to school all together in twos like some army squad and you could hear us coming from miles away, clip, clop, clip clop.

 

They were definitely to aid repairs because having your shoes with them toed and heeled was a standard way of reducing the cost of repairs.Adults kept a pair of shoes for a life time back then. Obviously a metal toe and heel, yes we had both was seen to last longer and were quicker to replace. 

Segs in toes and heels? I bet you could do a mean tap-dance routine.

Reminds me of old the joke about the bloke who tried to shag a princess but burn his cock in the exhaust

Rebound should be used as a curling event in the winter Olympics, full size and on ice.

Mate - not as posh as it was...I've had to furlough the gardener, so the grounds are looking a bit tatty. 

 

Even had to empty out and clean the pool myself...need a bit of normality back as I'm not cut out for this. 

 

 

On the plus side, getting plenty of golf in - so give me a shout when you're ready!

Wow, that brings back memories.

 

My sister had a blue Samba - I 'borrowed' it one night to take a couple of mates out. Lost control on the way back and wrote it off by ploughing into a cow in a field next to the Axe and Compass just outside Hinckley.

 

I was 17, hadn't passed my test, had no insurance and had to go and retrieve the car the next day from the farmers field/cow.

 

Happy days.

Probably around then. I’d have been 3 in 1976 which is about the time I first discovered my talent for telling jokes

My mate had little extension bars on his that came out the center of the back wheel so I could stand behind him while he peddled

Oh my God!  It took about two hours just to get set up and then about three weeks to play. It caused at least one very memorable family meltdown.  Masterpiece (the art auction) Game was the preferred choice...
