Title: Blast from the past thread

A place to post anything nostalgic.


Psychedelic was a buzz word when I was young. I have no idea what it means but people had psychedelic patterns on everything.

I has a psychedelic mug. I loved it. I thought it made me one of the 'in' crowd.

Groovy.

I was once cornered by a couple of youths. I reached into my back pocket for my steel comb, missed and found myself threatening them with five Embassy vouchers.

Blimey, that's another one, steel combs.

Never left home without a comb, used it every 10 minutes.

I didn't. I wanted a Chopper and a Rolex. Not surprisingly, I got neither.

Kind of related - I'm quite saddened by the demise of certain brands.  Muddy Fox were always a cool range of mountain bike when I was younger, now they're sold cheaply by the likes of Tesco

How much are they worth roughly?  I have got 4 fully completed Panini's from mid 1980's in decent condition.

Ok thought you were going to say a few hundred quid each!  I must have spent more than £70 on each one 30 years ago.  Will keep them in the loft.

For years I had a 'snake' belt to hold up a succession of pairs of second arse trousers.

Then I found a wonderful Boys Brigade belt in the tats. I wore it so much the buckle snapped through metal fatigue, then I took it to  a friend of my dad's, a little man named Glen Platt who did welding in an old nissan hut. He brass-brazed it for me and I wore it some more. I wish I knew what became of it.
