Michael_W Â Â 11 #253 Posted October 18, 2013 I can remember Sunday Soccer with Keith Macklin on Yorkshire TV back in the early 70s, the second half match highlights had to be broadcast in black and white in the winter months ..... it didn't make any difference in our house at the time though, colour tv was for posh folk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
cazzashep   10 #254 Posted April 6, 2015 I'm old enough to remember the lady with the brass weighing machine with the red velvet chair outside the Sheaf outdoor Market.  I remember getting weighed on those scales, my cousin worked on the loose sweet stall at the back of the market and buying nylons for my grandma from the stall in the middle. Buying a dish of cockles from the wet fish stall was a treat every Saturday happy days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Super Hans   10 #257 Posted April 6, 2015 I was ten on September 11th 2001 and I can just about remember it, I had never heard of the world trade centres before then though, unlike the Empire state building and other more famous NYC landmarks.

cuttsie   1,091 #263 Posted April 7, 2015 Steam rollers ,proper steam rollers flattening white chippens onto red hot tar. In the summer the tar would melt and we would rap it around our fingers and suck it. And then chuck white hard dog turds at each other. marvellous days all this while we sucked a Kia Ora.
