You needed eyebleach for some of the pages though - the ones with industrial strength underwear for old and/or fat ladies.

Used to get quite excited when you make out the V of hair through the material of the knickers, the same with seeing a bit of dark nipple too; oh those were the days!!

Never open a car door with a key.

I had a hire car the other day which didn't have remote central locking.
Possibly the most annoying thing since Sugar Puffs becoming slightly less sugary. /First World Problems

My wife my son and I did a bit of a driving holiday in June and managed to listen to quite a few of the 5hr long Jan France's narrated famous five audio books, i felt quiet sad that my lad would never get up to half the mistchief those kids got up to.

See this:

That must be recent, given it's an HD test card.

Yeah, I noticed that too, that clown still creeps me out way more than it should though.

We only ever procured Littlewoods catalogues, you're showing your age there

How about nipping round to your mates house on a Saturday afternoon whilst his parents were out shopping to get a read of Cosmopolitan that his mum bought.

Also, finding a copy of Forum magazine under your Dad's side of the bed

I'm waiting for my classic car to arrive and its got wind-up Windows.
That'll confuse my little fkers when they start looking for the button.

My children look on the wind-up windows in my Range Rover with the same wonderous excitement that I used to look upon the electric windows in my Grandfather's XJ12

Fire the lid of a Smarties tube at someone/a pet.

Smarties don't come in tubes any more? This is devastating news!

Happy days.

I still have wind down windows, my Daughter has got the hang of them.. just. As a side note the international sign language for 'wind you window down' is still the motion of winding a handle, not pressing a button.

Others to add to the list:

Drink Tab clear
Find that birds had pecked holes in the gold top foil

Have the option to fly on a Concorde........


Technically I never flew on the concorde though I was still at school when they stoped service... One of those things would love to do but sadly will never get the chance!!

Use grammar... (although, I was never good at it anyway)

Buy sweets for 1p each.

I remember some sweets for 0.5p! On that note, they won't experience 0.5p coins.

I remember 4 for 1d - yes I am that old.

That was after the price increase made them expensive. I recall 8 for 1d (4 for a h'apenny), Blackjacks & Fruit Salads.

I need to check that because if they don't there'll be trouble.

Mojos were the cheapest sweets around when 'I were a lad'
