    Who remembers them?

    I used to get the Beano and my brother used to get the Dandy, and when we had our own read we would swap them and read each others.

    Can you still get them? It would be a shame if you couldn't as they were always a big part of our Christmas stockings.

    I loved The Dennis the Menace annual, so much better than the dross in the Beano.


    I loved the Topper and The Beezer too, Roy Of The Rovers, Victor, and Beryl The Peril.

    You're right. They took trurns. Loved them both. The Broons had the same story nearly every strip. One of the kids overhears Grandad saying something and gets the wrong end of the stick. Whole family rushes to Grandad, realises their mistake and they all have a good laugh about it.

    Plus there was Maggie :emoticon-0115-inlov
