It was sniffing the glue, Ernie. Has the potential to turn the nicest lads into deranged assailants.

On serious note-paper, I remember that stink glue. It came in a weird shaped bottle, slim at the top with a broad base. It had an orangey/pink slanted rubber cap/applicator with a slitin it. Was it called gum?

Aye, it was as described.

The rubber applicator needed skilful usage if you were to get a sufficient amount of the evil stuff on the paper without contaminating your hands with it.

It must have been a by-product of the fish processing industry, made with the bones or summat.


It wasn’t of sniffable quality. Had no active ingredients and was completely rank.

Now the stuff we used to affix Airfix with. That was worth sniffing.

Was it white or are you more senior than myself?

If it was white then getting it on your hands was the whole point. Then you could try and peel it off in one piece to leave Silence of the Lambs style skin gloves everywhere

That's your bog standard PVA.

My Dad used to tell me to 'stop genning' if I was whining about something.

They say fashions go around in circles. But some things, like these erm, 'shoes' will thankfully never return.

Another one. Could you ever envisage footballers wearing tight little shorts again???

At the time most club goers were dressed in a similar manner so nothing unusual, and although being ridiculed now they are history, unlike the practice of wearing caps back to front.
 
To get back on topic, that distinguished son of Norwich, Alan Partridge, is back at the Beeb. 9:30pm BBC 1 tonight.
