We had a tea lady at the last company I worked for. It's the only place I've ever seen it though.

If anybody mentions white dog shit I'll scream. Oops, I just did it. Aaaaarrggghhhhh. That's better.

Where are the youth of today meant to find post-binge sustenance whilst wandering home at 4am if there's no milk float to loot? The world's gone mad I tells ya!

My local convenience store is a class act but fails to stock confectionary from the good people at Bonds.

Bonds Confectionary. The confectionary you can trust.

Sparrows - There used to be clouds of them in the 70s, rarely seen now

Donkey Jackets - Again a 70s staple, now almost completely vanished

The Pale Blue 'Spaz Chaz' - Sadly missing from football grounds today, sadly replaced by the mobility scooter.

Songs containing violent intent towards opposing fans, such as \"you're gonna get your f*ck*ng head kicked in\", and \"you're going home ina Yorkshire ambulance\".
Also toilet rolls are no longer thrown at the goal after a team scores!

As Half Man Half Biscuit say:

\"Even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch
Even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch
It generates a warmth around the ground that augurs well for mankind
And that’s what life’s about

Trouble is these days you never see a dog on the pitch.\"

It reminds me of going to Cantley to my Grandparents place and having the walls man come round,blowing a whistle. He used to sell the oblong blocks of icecream in rectangular shaped cones (if that makes sense).

That was me that was in the mid to late 70's


Gooseberry bushes in gardens (Goosegogs)

Yorkshire Puddings as starters

Xmas Puddings with a tanner in (or any coinage)

Scrumping. The art of raiding an orchard (Taylors Orchard in Thorne) and tucking your jumper in your Oxford Bags and filling your jumper up with fruit

Cowhorns on bikes or Lolly sticks in the spokes

Kiss catch, Postmans Knock, you show me yours and I'll show you mine

Sticking a straw up a frogs arse and blowing it up

I could go on.........

I think we should have a \"70's Footy Day\".

Mullets, 18-hole red DMs with flared jeans, cheesecloth shirts, toilet rolls, scarves tied round wrists, and ultraviolence!

Sounds a good couple of hours out!
