The Oldies Thread

[davids]

Any space show where they walk about in pyjamas gets my vote.. Catchy tune too. I've forgotten it already.

I can even just about remember this:

 

[LEONARD]

In King St, Wallasey in the 60s they had a Joke shop. A whole shop that just sold joke things. I think it was called Kardomahs?
You could get whoopee cushions ,fake cigarettes that glowed red if you drew on them , fake dog poo, a bird thing that dipped into a glass of water forever and hundreds of other daft things. Itching poweder, sneezing powder, stink bombs.
A wonderous place.
A shop that only sold jokes and it was open for years, perhaps sustained by all the local kids Saturday job money.....

We had a shop called 'The Wizards Den' selling all this stuff as well.

I seem to remember it was up by Moorfields station somewhere.

 

[Methuselah]

Anybody ever call it teem ? Calling @Methuselah.

[/QUOT
Lived in Liverpool, Leeds, Lincolnshire, Berkshire, never heard of 'teem'. Pour is what I would use.

 

[LEONARD]

Never heard teem in my life.

Yes it was on Moorfields before the underground station was built to replace Exchange station.

 

[LEONARD]

Seeing all these advertisements for the Merseyside Xmas panto's.

Proud to say, don't recognise any of the 'celebs' cast as buttons, etc, etc,.

Just for the older members....

Memories of a better time........I'll start with my avatar, Debbie Harry.....

Deb is looking a bit Red, White and Blue these days.

 

[Rob17896]

When actually paying... 10 Regal Kings.. a box of matches.. and a packet of chewy's to hide the smell from yer ma.. all for a pound.. really.. a pound..
Even buying a 'loosie' from the local Pakistan owned shop ! ( political correct that.. )

Remember FIVE Park Drive...not an address

Does anyone remember Rubovia? Or am I going mad?

I used to love that place, was always fascinated with the Tarot cards and the Frankenstein masks. My mum used to hate the place because I used to buy those mini bangers that would fit in the end of a ciggie.

I remember that! Think the the gardener was called Wetherspoon, that was before he went on to open a chain of pubs!

And it seems he's keen to turn us back into a Rubovia-style state!
