And the son-in-law aka Shirley Temple coz of the excessive locks length. Ole Alf ultimately migrated to Sydney I believe. A funny show. And don't forget Arfur Daly. I understand the dodger humour.

RDN Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Lucky Bags lucky bags 10p? Jamboree bags were 3d, I think. 3d = 3 old pence 240 old pence to the pound. (20 shillings * 12 old pence to one shilling). Da.mn you, "decimalisation"! Da.mn you to he.ll! Now kids don't know how to multiply or divide by 12.

mango Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 How many megapascals of air do you put in your car tyres ? Well Dr that depends on what the recomended inflation levels are for the specific tire being inflated at the time, for instance if a tire was to be inflated to 36 pounds per square inch (psi) then this would equate to 0.24822 Megapascals (mpa). I have posted this handy conversion chart for quick referance should you need further assistance with such matters, dont hessitate to ask. TO CONVERT INTO MULTIPLY BY MPA PSI 145.04 PSI MPA .OO6895 Cheers Mango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 3d = 3 old pence240 old pence to the pound. (20 shillings * 12 old pence to one shilling). Da.mn you, "decimalisation"! Da.mn you to he.ll! Now kids don't know how to multiply or divide by 12. I welcomed decimalisation with open arms as a pocket full of change of old pennies and thrippenny bits would almost pull your pants down.

Milk Tray The Osmonds The Jackson Five Michael Jackson when he was a negro. The Partridge Family T-Rex Slade The Sweet. Gary Glitter looked just like a dirty old man. Free Deep Purple Cream Hurricane Smith The Mud Middle of the Road Pink Floyd Dave Clark Five Mungo Jerry Lieutenant Pigeon Films were films or 'Fillums' not movies. You could get firewood for the bonnie (bonfire) from 'bombdies' (condemned houses) There were no 'crime rates' but older folk still suggested bringing back the birch. It was mesmerising watching the white dot slowly disappear when turning off the tv. It was great to boast to friends about having a new colour tv. It was boring and meaningless listening to old codgers talking about the good ol' days or 'when I was a lad' or 'I remember when.....' or 'when I was on the Russian convoys.....' etc. etc. Being proud that we were the only family in the street to own a car. Some Bus stops had timetables. The main shopping area would close about 5pm and were closed half day on Thursdays and Sundays. Church bells could be heard all over town every Sunday morning. You had an outside toilet were you really had to ‘pull the chain’ and sat on a board with a round hole in it. Fish and chip shops were owned by Brits. The only access to porn was looking at the bare-breasted pygmys in the National Geographic magazine or the ladies underwear section in the Kay's catalogue. You could give old newspapers to the chippy for a free portion of chips. You collected old pop bottles for the deposit to buy more pop. Coppers used to walk their beat, looked like giants and knew your name. Building sites were great for playing war and making dens. There were no paedophiles back then, just 'dirty old men' that wanted you to play with their willy. Having your mum call you a dirty little bugger then having her spit on a hanky to clean mud off your hands. Seeing John Wayne cowboy films at the ABC cinema and kicking fukc out of the seat whenever the cavalry charged. Coming out with all fingers blazing at the end of the matinee. You were smug when you guessed the right window on PlaySchool. (“and today were going to look through the........squuuuaaaarrrre window”) Going on day trips by coach and singing 'One man went to mow....went to mow a meadow.' Saturday afternoon tv only consisted of sport on all three channels. You bought fish from a fishmonger, meat from a butcher, veggies from a greengrocer etc. Your mum kept the holiday savings very safe in a little lockable tin in a cupboard. It always seemed to be raining when it was your turn to go outside to fill the coal scuttle. It was great to stay up watching tv after the 9pm watershed cos you were guaranteed to see nudity. Going to North Wales for a day out was like going abroad. Digital bedside clocks were brilliant. So brilliant in fact, you had to cover the display to darken the bedroom. You thought learning French at school was pointless because there was no way that you would want to live in another country other than England. The only time that you found Valerie Singleton attractive was during adolescence. Magpie was better than Blue Peter because you could sing along to the theme song. You listened to guys saying that they'll stop drinking beer when it reached 50p a pint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
