The Down Memory Lane thread...

Don't think Wimpys have changed that much.
They stillhave one in my favorite holiday town in Dorset- and everything still much the same. Though I am convinced that the "knickerbocker glorys" are half the size they used to be. :grin: And not half as exciting.

What town would that be, madaunty?

Swanage, Disenchanted.
Went for the first time about 8 years ago and at first sight decided that it was a "proper seaside town" and now go down at least twice a year.

[OscarFelixJake]

[BusyMum]

Yep..was just going to mention gonks ... My sis had a couple, ugly little beasts!

Bread and Dripping........delicious with a light sprinkling of salt!

Cor yes I thought of bread & dripping for this thread when I was lying unable to sleep last night, and of course had forgotten all about it by this morning!

This thread is such a good read.
I remember when we first got a colour tv in the 70s. My mum invited all the neighbours in to watch princess Anne:s wedding in colour. It was such a treat. I spent the rest of the day with my friends, raiding the dressing up box and re enacting the wedding. I was Anne because it was my house.

Anyone remember a fleeting craze for bunchies and pony tails tied with fluorescent coloured really thick wool? Wanted wanted WANTED! Didn't get! circa 1970

The Ken Paves thread in the forum triggered this - does anyone remember "squirrel tails" must have been around late 60's early 70's?

I loved mine, thought I looked bees knees!! :rock:
