i remember when.....

Not on your own Janet i to remember making my own perfume. Always turned into a nasty smelly gunky mess. Nose wrinkle, can still remember the horride smell to. YUK! ! ! !
 
All my mates would go down the miley while i was left kicking my heals at the top. Being fat I was too much of a scardie cat to go down because i was fat. One day i decided i`d ad enough of being left at the top. I lost my footing and went down that banking rolling at top speed banging my head at the bottom. Dave Taylor thought i`d killed mi sen. Gave im quite a scare.
Gave mi ed quite a bump too.
Thats why i must av married at sixteen woz that bang on the ed that did it.
Wouldn`t swap im though.
Ah, bless.  :-* :-*
 
listen to ALL REED SATURDAY DINNER TIME.
and tennis  good fun when oyu cant see the ball head still went left and right.
 
He's one for you Cazzer.
I remember when we had to wear those awfull libertybodises in the winter.
Goose grease and brown paper when we had a cold. Stunk to high heven it did.
Onions under my bed to keep the cold away.
Not forgetting dried milk and orange juice every week from the clinic.
 
Ah yes, the good old liberty bodice. A sleeveless thing with buttons down the front. the vest went underneath.
Always had to wear an underskirt too.
Standing in front of a sun lamp every Sunday, cos it was supposed to be good for you!
Head checked for nits weekly too.
Cod liver oil every day. Yuk

Remember the double ended feeding bottles!
 
Double ending feeding bottles now your going back some Cazzer. Didn't av no sun lamp. Remember nitty Nora the head bug explorer very well. I to was made to wear underskirts. No sun lamp. But remember havin a bath in front of fire in old tine bath on a Friday night.
It was codliver oil that made me fat. Used to drink it by the bottle full apparantly. ugh! the thought makes me sick. Vile stuff.

Do you mean the root liquorice sticks  that we dipped into the Kali?[/quote]

Sure do that is the one.
 
Used to save all our green sheild stamps up and used them to get christmas pressies. Saved us a fortune.  ;D
 
I too can remember when there were no trees on the coppice, but I can remember the entrance to the bowling greens, playing hide and seek, I hid behind a bush there and sat next to a toad, a big toad, a very very big toad. It put me of frogs for life, I will never forget it.
 
I remember when kids were kids.They knew how to play and use there imagination without things that cost the earth.
 
Sorry...Miley (railway) tunnel is/was Preston..As Anne , Mick and I are originally Prestonians we get carried away.
 
The old Miley Tunnel in Preston has been a non working line for many years, but it's supposed to be Haunted by a ghost train at mid-night.

Wow you were busy then Harry.Any share holder of Rusks would have been proud of you  :o
 
I remember greasing the slide in Bullough park with bread wrapping paper and watching from a distance who would be the first down,to shoot off the end, and land on their bum.
 
Used to get coupons in Embassy fag packets too and No 6 were called coughing nails.  
I went many times for 5 woodbines and they put them in those little triangular white paper bags. Also one seven o'clock razor blade we couldn't afford a full packet, but they were the good old days.
 
Can't remember when I have laughed so much. Thanks for these wonderful memories. Our kids today will never have memories like these. Anyone remember Lung healers. I used to sit with my friend in the cupboard under the stairs and pinch these tiny grey little balls from her uncles pocket.  He had a big strap he used to sharpen his cut throat razor on. It was hung at the side of the mantle piece.  What about picture rails or dust collectors as my mum used to call them.  
Swimming hats with rubber straps under the chin. Never did keep my hair dry.
 
Some drinks I remember.  Orange Juice in cartons called Sun something. Round dotted hole on the top you pushed in and put your straw in.  Jubblies pyramid shape carton we used to put them in the freezer. The milkman delivering orange juice in small bottles.  Sweets: flying saucers coloured discs filled with kali. Same time as mo jo's and black jacks there was another called refreshers blue and yellow packet. There was a caramel one too but I cant remember the name.  Red spanish. American cream soda kali.
Comics Bunty, Judy, Beano, Topper.
Bonfire nights coming up many a time I went collecting wood only to wake up the next morning to find some so and so had raided it. Many a couch and armchair went on the fire in mistake.
 
Will definately agree with Anne there.Fantastic trip down memory lane even if i am only 41.Lynn after all this time i finally find out who was doing that with the slide.Not nice.Many a pants got ripped and i got a real rollicking.Kids nowadays eh! They do not know they have been born!!!!!!
