Never had that one but the old luncheon meat was a staple in our house . Served with chips. On Tuesdays.

We were all quite skillful with these as well

The crap mono earphone that came with transistor radios could always be found in a kitchen drawer back in the 70's.

Got me thinking of fried spam now......

Along with tapioca pudding are the only two most hateful meals prepared in our house when I was a young 'un.

I remember spending ages with a cup of hot water trying to soften the rubber then trying to slip it over the steel frame when replacing the elastic on one of these.

Reminds me of when the inside of Cupboards were wall papered. I bet there's many gas cupboard still have retro wall paper in them because nee one gives a fuck now about redecorating them like the one in mine.

our house has an old boiler cupboard/larder and it's got paper not dissimilar to that in it still!

I was thinking more of the mass copying sessions with mates on a Saturday afternoon in the days of the Commodore 64 or ZX Spectrum to be honest.

We had a phone not entirely disimilar to this. My mam had a small round lock on it and kept the key so my older sisters couldn't run up the bill. It used to fit on that little silver bit on the right so you couldn't dial out

We always had Pek:

A childhood memory. Greasy sandwiches with meat from a tin during the winter months or egg, tomato and sand on the beach in the summer.

My Grandma used to make ham and tongue sandwiches when we were going over. We used to go over one evening a week after my dad got in from work. To be organised, she used to make them after breakfast and load them on a trolly with wheels ready to bring into the living room when we got there. It was an interesting study into what dried out and curled the most. Would the bread force the meat to curl or would it dry out quicker and leave the bread behind?

Them big wooden canons, has anyone mentioned them yet?

Excellent weapons when you have an older brother.

Remember me mam's boyfriend bring me and our boy swiss army knives back off his holiday and him getting a bollocking for giving kids knives.

Sure enough within a couple of ours our boy sliced his thumb open.

Used to love a fried PEK sarnie with brown sauce when I was a bairn. Lush!

Is this an arm's race now?

 

[cheeses of nazereth]

had one of these when i was a kid.
and thought i'd still have it to this day as nowt seemed to break it or even scuff it.
jumped it off steps and even the prefabs roof and it was fine.
until one fateful day!.........................
i was climbing on next doors roof and jumped down on to my wash house roof.
and went straight through the asbestos .
mam came out and went properly mental at me!
like when the hulks about to rip his shirt!
anyway............
she opened the wash house door and started shouting at my legs dangling from the ceiling.
i think it's because she couldn't see the remorse on my face that wound her up.
she ran in grabbed me evel knievel and chucked it onto the fire!
not just evel but the revver aswell! and his bike!
even evel couldn't withstand this kind of punnishment.
i watched him burn for a bit and wished me mam dead for the first 3 or 4 mins.
then went outside to see the black smoke bellow from the chimney(its what evel would of wanted)
always the showman!
