a friend Lenny would like to ask: dose anyone remember the good old days: were you used to play snakes and ladders watch tin tin watch Bil and Ben Andy Pandy the old gray itchy blankets the old green soap for shirt collars and Rupert the bear and shoveling the snow off the path for the OAP'S for a few bob.
Yes.
And there was Izal toilet paper, Rag Tag & Bobtail, the Woodentops, ice on the inside of your bedroom window, the penny tray in sweet shops etc etc.
There was also Germoline, Beechams Powders, broken biscuits, Spangles, Saturday Night at the London Palladium, The Clitheroe Kid, Four Feather Falls...how long a list does he want?????
when i was young we also used to ask neighbours if we could take their babies out for a walk, and they always said yes, could you imagine parents doing that now.
Lenny as a young child i went out tatting for my mam and dad saying give me your rags and I'll give you balloon i live in a caravan and i have like to weigh scarp from a young age and i like to grow a long mustache
