    You're not wrong stan, if it was wet and fizzy it usually sufficed. Likewise only discovered the delights of real beer when legal...remember doing a challenge for Fullers in early 80's when in 12 months you had to visit everyone of their pubs for a drink, you got a card stamped in each one...sounds easy but some were in out the way places and some where you really would not want to venture after dark, think i was about a dozen or so short of completing it.

    Around the same time I, with a couple of mates, tried to do all the Sam Smith's pubs in Central London/West End in a single night. Got a bit messy, but I still love the Cittie of Yorke on High Holborn, and the Princess Louise down the road is a cracking real old Victorian boozer.

    Alexandra Bastedo was my Aunty Jenny's best mate and a friend of my late mothers Col she made a massive impression on us farm lads then. She was often on our farm and when she made it we had to all watch the Champions. She used to live in Brighton and even when she made the big time she would still holiday with Jenny at our little place on Menorca. I will have to look out some photos as she got my mum a photo shoot and she later went on to do some modelling .. great memories

    I used to love The Green Hornet, Banana Splits

    Well not really you posted up a naft you tube video and it started a nice little read ... I am with some of the others that are lucky enough to be born in this best generation and since then there hasn't been much of any worth really and the future looks a bit crap Cerny when you reach our age ... You lot haven't got any minerals .. WE done it all for you ... Try something original it will be a struggle

    Loved White Horses and the song is still one of my favourites. There was a show called The Pied Piper which always seemed to be shown in the summer holidays. Jackanory, Bonanza, Doctor Who(Hartnell and Troughton), Lost In Space, Man In A Suitcase, Stingray(loved Marina!!)

    Black Tower and Blue Nun. Like the beer, the wine we had available back then was actually very poor compared to today's standards.

    No, it's a good read. Call me suspicious though and that single post could be an attempt to bait those from the other thread.

    Yep, and if you got a portable one or a mate with one in his car, you could go to Black Park where all the nerds flew model planes. If you then switched it on and "dead keyed" it would bring down a fair amount of them !! <laugh>

    oooooppppsss...sorry m'laud!
