The middle aged thread

this thread is for you if you can remember: 3 tv channels on your rented black and white TV, black forest gateaux, free school milk, the zx-80, klackers, vinyl car seats and Elvis dying.
a thread for nostalgia, reminiscing and 'were mars bars really 10p or did i imagine it?' type posts.

just watched leggs & co on 1976 TOTP, never did understand why my old man watched top of the pops, i can appreciate that now.

im 25 in a couple of weeks, probably only really gonna live to 50. so i should also be part of this, right?

Is there a thread for those that can remember 2 channels?

nothing to stop you starting one.
i remember the first night of channel 4. max headroom and comic strip presents five go mad in dorset (or was it 5 go mad on mescalin?)

I only remember 5 of your 7 criteria so I guess I'll stay with the kids.

denying your true heritage Tim.

Elvis is dead?

^^^ I also only remember 5 but put this down to 3 years at art school and the early signs of dementia.

actually, i don't know what any of you are talking about.

I'l keep out.

I also sat GCSE's having missed O-Levels by about 3 years I think.

But I was milk monitor at my first school and I was 12 when my parents upgraded to a colour TVand then had to wait until I move out to have a TV with a remote.
I also am still lacking about 3 layers of skin from the back of my thighs which was ripped from them by the burgundy vinyl seats in my Grans Morris Marina.

The track at fallow field manchester I saw reg harris
Salt and shake crisps
Telephones with a padlock,and a party line
Aztec bars

Real winters and real summers

Woolworths pick en mix
Action man with gripping hands
Golliwogs on the back of jam
Choppers
Emmanuel the film still don't understand it
Shag pile carpet
Party seven
Smoking everywhere

^^ I was on the cusp year, last year to do O levels I think, I do remember we also had the option to do CSEs but they were for the real window lickers.

My middle-aged claim to fame is that my dad was a graphic designer all of his working life until he retired a few years ago and he came up with the font / design for Spangles.

Erections on demand.
