Top thread.
My memories of growing up are things like Raleigh Burners, Scramble and Firefox games consoles, cremola foam, Ghetto blasters (that I never owned because we had little money), Game for a Laugh on Saturday night, hanging on to milk floats in the snow, broken glass cemented ontop of backyard walls, more fistfights, tying rope swings aroud of lampposts, getting my name taken by the police, Spectrum 48k games loading on tape decks for 30 mins and it failing at the end, 3 TV channels, Giant Haystacks, Jim'll fix it, metal shoe tappers, Choppers and Budgies, BMX bandits, pound notes, Angel Delight and Super Mousse, The plastic paper around a Lucozade bottle, Daley Thompsons Decathlon game and ruining many joysticks playing it, cheap wakmen tbat only had fadt forward buttons, girls sharing a set of roller boots - clump skate, clump skate, CB rsdio, the nutty boys, Appetite for Destruction, 50 leccy meters, bengal matches.
Ahhhh. Better days
