I'll tell you the fashion (and common sense) disaster of the seventies. Dungarees for small kids. I admit having crapped myself in class a couple of times, aged about five, but what could I do? Houdini would have had the same trouble.

dude, along with Maggie Thatcher in crotchless fishnets, that is the one image that I did not ever need to have in my head.
thanks a bunch.

I can see myself, in July 1976, on my fourth birthday, sitting on my tricycle with the Mary Mungo and Midge sticker on the seat, in the back yard in the sunshine, drinking a can of Jokers and eating Doctor Who chocolate. Anyone remember Doctor Who chocolate? It had Tommmmmmmmmm Bakerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr on the wrapper, and he was sitting in his yellow old banger, Bessie.
I remember that summer - there was a massive heatwave that year, lasted for weeks. I remember being about four or five and sitting half naked in the doorway of the launderette with my twin sister and giggling at everything. No-one was wearing any clothes.
I remember we used to get mary mungo and midge comics! Do you remember Bod? I used to love that show though looking back it was kind of wierd!

I vaguely remember that! The pictures look familiar.
It was part of the Bod programme. First you'd get Bod, the cartoon, then you'd get some blurred objects and you'd have to guess what they were, then you'd get Alberto the Frog and his Amazing Animal Band. Then you'd have a game of snap where you'd try and match an Aunt Flo with another Aunt Flo, instead of a PC Copper.

I do, vividly. It says it's an '80s cartoon there, but I can definitely remember it on BBC TV after school, in 1979. The cartoon was a bit like Speed Racer, a Westernised anime series. All the dialogue wasridiculouslyfastlikethat!
I'm so glad to hear you think that...did you realise people really cared about your opinion here ?
The book is great, the movie is something else, and the scene you selected is simply wonderful......"shurupp lad, don't interupt, close the door"
I mean, how stressed is that head teacher? It's too real to be funny at times.
i've just spent 3 days in and around Yorkshire and came hame via the Yorkshire Dales.
this is where you want to go to if you want to see the above.
truly breathtaking i was in a pub that was built in 1460something... it was great
Hey Dunk, did you visit the Tan Hill Inn? Highest pub in the country? awesome place it is, if you didn't, next time your up in the dales make sure ye get yourself there.

I'd challenge you on the eighties thing but I never knew if my eighties programmes were just seventies re-runs?
Mr. Tickle used to scare me. :(
Oh and take some of this! Creepy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFKTeZ-tSGU&feature=related Well, it was scary at the time.

I find it hard to believe you watched Grange Hill. I always imagine that you were born hairy with a drink in your hand.
Jenkins was about 40 when I started watching it.
I was! I still watched Grange Hill though.

Not only a masterpiece of a film, but a beautiful book.

Grang Hill was actually The Shit!
