The Oldies Thread

[summerisle]

It's a soporific Sunday, so why not listen to the theme music to Dangermouse in Swedish.

I used to like the "classified" section of the old Sounds and NME in the seventies.

They were basically the voice of desperate young folk in horrible towns trying to get pen pals and hopefully dates.

Likes - ELP, Purple, Sabbath, Good SOH, into beer, football etc.

The answer to a maiden's prayer!

With me it was the incessant ads for Loons. Those kecks into which my globular body would never fit.

Transfered this from the crimes against food thread...not that its a crime, just a snap shot of 1960s culinary history.
Street food is trendy now isnt it?
Sod your Ho Chi Mihn Citys or your Bangkoks

Buy a vienna loaf (4d - in old money) from a little open all hours type grocers shop halfway down Islington ( when it was a proper street with shops and houses, not a near motorway in an urban blight)
Pull it in half, you and your mate have half each, pull the bread out the middle and scoff that, then get a bag of chips, well salt and vinegared and stuff the chips in the bread container made previously.
Dive down a little back road, scoff chips and bread, have a crafty smoke and perv on the girls sewing in the sweat shop then back to school.

You've just described my Friday lunchtime treat nipping out from school, which sometimes was more difficult than escaping Colditz.
We flooded into the bakery then across the road to Dirty Danny's chippy, then finally the jigger at the back of the shops. In time some of the girls from the Convent school would join us.
