Hi Karate after shave. They had the best commercials.

True story. I went to a family reunion today that had about 40 people there. I was the 5th oldest.

Seriously I'm not asking you to post just your age, It's more fun than that. With the permission of the Mod's I'd like to start an official old farts thread , by asking you to name one thing you remember from your childhood, to give us a clue , It can be literally anything, pop stars, events, sport, whatever you recall from when you were a child, one answer at a time, Here goes I'll start

The Milky Bar Kie at 7PM on black and white

Watch Kookla, Fran, and Ollie at 7 PM on weeknights on black and white TV then go to bed.

Our first McDonalds when you ordered at the counter not a machine, I must've been around 18 or 19, I went to the counter and was served by the usual just out of school teenager, she had 5 gold stars on her name badge so must have been working there for a month to get those, I asked for a quarter pounder with cheese, and a medium fries, she said "anything Else ?" I said I'll have half a dozen McNuggets please, she replied "Sorry we only do them in 6's 9's or 12's, I said "go on then I'll have 6 please"

Turning the crank on the old phone to get the operator and I still have one...

Clarification: when I say I still have one, I'm referring to the old phone, not an old operator!

And of course when drones were made of paper and flying them in school got you a trip to the principal's office.

 

[Murph66]

When nursery rhymes could be sang in schools with the original words, not altered to match the current ridiculous "Political Correctness" alterations, "Baa Baa Black Sheep", nowadays do the kids have to sing Baa Baa Sheep of Colour have you any wool ?? Black Boards are now dry wipe boards. And Noddy books author Enid Blyton, Her books were removed from libraries and she was accused of being a racist and of using such limited vocabulary that it actually hindered children’s reading progress, what a load of utter crap.
Oh and before someone accuses me of being "Racist" I assure you that I'm absolutely NOT, See ? I've even had to cover me own a**e there , Madness
