Just how old exactly are you Deke? to the nearest century if you really cant remember.....

I don't wish to discuss it ,thank you ...erm...what was the question ???

Will only say that I felt like someone from another planet when forced to return to college for the Regs C&Gs thing . The only guys my age were the Gorgi gas men next door.

Felt somewhat better when the lecturer said I could probably teach the course and realised that my 20 fellow students would probably not make a half decent sparks between them . Maybe just the one Asian kid , at least 2/3rds of the others seemed to have no comprehension of the trade whatsoever.

What about Spangles?

What about when Golly Wog's were NOT considered racially abusive.

And the Black & White Minstrels were acceptable viewing.

No one will remember "Spangles" Specs.

They won't remember the "Eagle" comic either .

Black enamel .... I still use it.

They don't sell it at one of my wholesalers , don't think Denmans sell it either .

Wonder if its to do with double stocking when Galvo covers both uses.

black enamel so doesnt suit you prof, try some pink lush on your nails, Deke swears by it,

You can always touch up the paintwork once fitted with some high temperature black (used on wood-burning stoves) so that it doesn`t blister when you overload the cables inside .....

Skol Bandits

did they get banned?

I know there was talk of it at one time.

ABC bitter a local bitter made by the Aylesbury Brewery Company. This was my first alcoholic drink. In my area most pubs were owned by ABC but the government put a stop to that by making them sell a lot off. Not sure what happened to them probably taking over by a large company. As for radio Luxenbourg I used to listen to that in the evenings also, who remembers laser 558 another pirate radio station sure we have discussed this before though.
