Do you remember?
Joined in this thread with another forum and got a bit carried away - to the point I think they're all bored of me now!
But.....do you remember:
Mojos (half a penny each)
Phone calls from call boxes costing 2p
Being able to buy half a bag of chips and scraps (probably northerners only here!)
Spangles
Any more ladies?
