Listen you two... only kidding. Yes Bobby Ball and the calm down, calm down brigade as in that pic that goes around with the Barry Grant/Terry Sullivan crowd in the kop. You see, weren't I in fashion for the time then (well ok, except for that suit, oh and the green flash, and err yeah, whattabout that belt on me jeans and that - ok ok I get it...)

@phredd Great that list was!

Who remembers:

• Taking your empty bottles of Barr's lemmo back to the shop and getting
  10p (how's that for recycling eh? )
• Giving stuff to the Rag & Bone man and getting a balloon back off him? More recycling!
• Curling up inside a tractor tyre and being pushed down the hill?
• Bringing your empty milk bottles back to the shop. Even more recycling!
• Nickin' sweets from the pick 'n' mix counter in Woolies on Church Street.
• Climbing up the highest tree you could find and making a Swing with some dock rope.

Great stuff!

I can honestly say that in the 80s I DID NOT own a shell suit.

I don't remember you having that caravan mate. Of course we had another name for Pickwicks didn't we, well the gals did. I first went in there aged 15 at the very first Beatles convention on JL's birthday 9/10/77 and we got served ale dead easy. The start of many a good night in there though we graduated to Gatsby's when we got a bit braver.
