I was clearing the workshop up yesterday and found a box with some old 8 track tapes in , my grandson couldnt stop laughing about how big they were ..they were a step up from the old record player though ..

On building sites in the 80's nearly everyone smoked number 6, empty packets everywhere and the site cabins at dinner were like opium dens! And indestructible enamel mugs filled from a baby burco urn.

We also had barefoot horses, and still do. None of that farrier trim stuff - if the feet got too long they did more roadwork -known as a Council Trim!

From my dim and distant past when my dad was a club steward in Leeds: Jubilee Stout, Mackison, Babycham and Cherry B. Those little cherries on plastic sticks shaped like a sword and everybody having to be quiet when the bingo started.
