Webbo Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 The theme tune to ''The flashing Blade'' http://www.thechestnut.com/flashing-blade/...ashingblade.wav
Zingari Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 Virol too - heaped on a tablespoon! heaped on a "tablespoon" ; how big is your mouth? ( presumably that is where it was being pushed )
AoWW Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 Sod the cake, I used to eat the cake mix, containing raw egg, and never fell ill. Well, not with food poisoning, anyway.I bet you watched "Why don't you". I still like cake mix - complete with raw eggs. Mind you, I also swear by orange juice and raw egg as the perfect hangover cure! Whilst on the subject of 'old' stuff, can someone please assure me that spangles were not a complete figment of my imagination? As far as I remember they were just kinda fruit-flavoured boiled sweets, but everyone else just seems to deny they ever existed!

(My Mum used to work there in the Mars factory , we had loads of sweets , never had so many mates. Now I have no sweets and no mates )

Rincewind Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 There are some truths and a few flaws to that article. It is preaching to the alive kids that survived and did not fall to the high infant mortality rate. In the 20's and 30's the only cars on the road were Model T Fords which top speed was 20mph going downhill. So if one came torwards it you would have time to out run it. Desease had only one catagory. If somebody died unexpectedly it was put down on the certificate as pheumonia. The streets were safer and your parents left their doors open for the milkman to collect his money off the kitchen table but in those days there were no tellys, VCR's computers, video games playstations Nintindos or mobile phones for anyone to nick and sell in the playground. Banks and shops never had burglar alarms or CCTV so they were the main souce of income for any would be thief. They did not have a suped up getaway car so had to out run the local bobby to get away. Pregnant unmarried girls were sent to mental institutions and the girls mother would miraculously give birth 6 months later. I could put more if my brain worked at 3.30am. Must be my age
Guest Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 what used to annoy me living in leicestershire was getting a week of pebble mill at one and missing the climax of the series' i'd been watching all summer, because our holidays were all out of kilter with the rest of the country. Indeed. The thought of going back to school when there were more interesting things on telly was a kick in the wotsits. Yep, made by the Mars Bar people in Slough . (My Mum used to work there in the Mars factory , we had loads of sweets , never had so many mates. Now I have no sweets and no mates ) I thought I was your mate. There are some truths and a few flaws to that article..... Cheers for the light-hearted anecdote in this fun-filled thread.
