    ...ticking clocks, brass ornaments on the fireplace, glue sniffers, shoe scrapers by the front door, no seat belts or headrests in cars, nams carrying their babies on their knee in the front of the car, quick shuffles behind the youth club, when Salman Rushdie was considered controversial, Bob Monkhouse, Les Dennis, liking Michael Barrymore.

    Getting the old army coat put on you in the winter and feeling like you'd been placed under a lead sheet.
    Having to go outside for a shovel of coal.
    Helping put the clothes through the wringer.
    When bin men actually came up your alley and took your metal ash bin that seemed to weigh a ton from a kids point of view.
    Being the envy of your friends when you came home with a big bag of sweets after choir practice at church.

    Bullseye was a favourite of mine.
    Generation game.
    Les Dawson.
    Painting your school haversack.

    My only regret is that I never had a Raleigh Grifter.

    I had a hand me down chopper.
    It seemed the better off had the grifters.
    I loved those choppers.
    I remember the painted haversacks as well.
    And the tartan flasks which seemed to be the in thing in your haversack.

    My favourite shows of the time when I was a youngster were Abbott and Costello...Randall and Hopkirk....The men from uncle....Time tunnel...old star trek....why don't you....little and large....The double deckers....Land of the giants....Lost in space....
    Danger mouse....The amazing Chan and the Chan clan.... Banana splits.... and a many more.

    Some great one's in there.

    I loved Joe 90, Stingray, Thunderbirds, but most of all Captain Scarlet.

    Sometimes me Mam would let me stay up to watch the football on Sportsnight.

    Happy times.
