Was watching a 'Del Boy' repeat on BBC1 fairly recently. They even completely cut out Trigger saying "it sounds like Jimmy Savile"

Haha. I hated the f*****g things. By the time you got the thing on youd lost the will to live. Back then, Aids was unheard of and you was hoping the lass would put out. Happy days
Paddle steamers Tattershall Castle, Wingfield Castle and Lincoln Castle leaving Victoria Pier for New Holland. Sammy's Point at the junction of the river Hull and Humber. Watching Trueman and Wardle from the railway bridge on Anlaby road. The big railway crossing gates holding up traffic on Anlaby road for long times for trains leaving Paragon Station. Saturday night dances at the City Hall before the Locarno was built. Seeing the first American band, Stan Kenton Orchestra to play at the City Hall after the embargo was lifted. Friday music nights at the Endike. Three pints for under ten shillings!
Money was worth summat back then. It's gone as soon as earnt now. £20 to watch a footy match FFS. I remember we played Blackburn on a Tuesday night (it got fogged off) and it was the first time we paid in decimal money. I cost 15p (3 bob in them days)
i once read that it was the popularity of home recording and Porn that made VHS win over the superior Betamax
Lol, I was going to put that, I used to get mine from a little shop at the bottom of West Parade on my way to school Edit:- which got me to thinking about getting my jam shortbread doughnut (can't remember the official name for them) from Hicks Bakery on Wenlock Street, also on the way to school. So, Hicks Bakery I'll also put in Gerald's Newsagency on Argyle Street, what a bloke he was, always letting you off if you were short of money, which I always was, the bloke was a corner shop God to us kids! And while I'm at it, the proper houses, sham fours I think they were called, down Kimberley & Wyndham Streets, sadly replaced with council cardboard replacements with no character.
Klackers! I ****ed my wrists up on more occasions than I care to remember, if they were still around there'd be a zillion compo claims hitting the manufacturers, and thinking about klackers got me thinking about something else that I just don't see anymore................a pair of trainers dangling from a telephone cable
Harry Carpenter Frank Bough David Coleman Des Lynam & that bloke who introduced World of Sport, the one who looked as if he had fell on a goal line
