Suppose it's because cabbage is the ultimate insult to the youngs diet ( still is for me)

"Why Don't You.........." now there was a programme for kids in the summer hols, the only problem was, the only reason we were sat inside was because it was probably pissing it down outside and had fudge all else to do because we had no Wii, DS.PSP,XBox etc etc etc , it was outside out of the way or inside with chores or a choice between BBC1 ( Crown Court etc, BBC 2 some sort of educational nonsense) or ITV ( does not need a number because there was only 1)
Less selection and we were happier for it

sorry got carried away,

I always wondered how Why Don't You?, a programme that actively encouraged you to switch of the television set and go and do something less boring instead, would fare in an age governed by viewing figures.

Was it the first ever TV programme to sound its own death knell?

Boy Lard

Pints of Mild

Marriott Edgar Monologues read by Stanley Holloway (Albert and the Lion)

Ulysses 31

Fat Bottomed Girls (actual girls not just the song)

Crisps with flavour not low fat

I understood that Crown Court was on that new fangled Independent Television station, not on the British Broadcasting Corporation's channel

Are you suggesting there are no fat bottomed girls nowadays?

There's an expanding number of them ( pun intended) and boys as well

No, just the fact that girls with 'round' bottoms seem to want flat bottoms, or at least the media want them to. I like to see curves and shapes, I dislike sticky-out-hip-bones and pointy bits. Just seems this is frowned upon. Bring back the classical curvy ladies in paintings, not airbrushed super models.

My Dad has all the Albert and the Lion stories memorised and does a really good rendition, even now, often drunk.

Ulysses 31 was a French (I think) manga type production, wasn't even that long running. I've recently managed to get it on dvd. It was probably a bit advanced for it's day, I wish they had the original series in good condition and not the crappy copies I have.

Hosiery. We're not garden implements.

And I'd support a ban on tights (not cycling ones), bloomin' awful things.

Bring back national service!

Re hosery - everyone to their own kinks


Re national service - we had this on page 1 along with the birch and the Watney Cup

I never quite got over the fact that "they" had two characters in that, named (as far as I could tell Anus and Clitus.

Cans of Watney's Party Seven. Those were a proper sized serving.

Hear hear. But before they do that, the early to mid 90's WRC rules would be good too - homologation gave us proper road cars back then.

A mate of mine has a GT4 Carlos Sainz; number 2701 of the 5000 required for homologation, it's such a monster.

I'd like to see them bring back Escort Cosworths. Mmmm, whale tail.....

Want of an Escort Cossie is my dirty hidden secret.
