Does anyone remember x ray specs adverts in magazines? Supposedly you could see through peoples clothes and skin right through to the bones, not sure if they were only sold in the U.S as i seem to remember the price was in dollars.

Evening All, OK, I'm mid forties (thanks for the birthday reminder the other week DYR) and to cut a long one short, I'm remembering 70's music magazines. I used to get Popswop regularly when I could. At £0.03 per issue, it was a challenge, until Mam & Dad agreed to add it to the paper bill. It...

I have an odd request. I am having a difficult time locating a set of audiotapes. As a child, my mother would put me to bed and I would typically listen to an audio cassette tape from a pre-packaged collection. To the best of my knowledge, the tape collection came as a set of about ten...

I know Alan Ball and a few other wore white hummel football boots in the early 70's, but does anyone remember the brand who produced the football boots with the circular dial at the front of the boot that was supposed to allow you to swivel without the studs moving. They were endorsed by Alan...

which programme would you like back on the tv

Hello everyone. Does anyone know where I can buy a 'here comes my head casper' talking doll? My husband says it's the only toy he can really remember from being a kid and he raves about it. Want to get him one as prezi...strange but true lol. He'll treasure it. I have found lots of pics on line but...

Does anyone remember going to school with an A4 ringbinder with a big photo of an X-Wing in space firing purple lasers? It had no Star Wars logo as far as I can remember and may well have been exclusive to WHSmith so I guess it's a bit of a long shot. Such a cool pic and one of my favourite bits of...

Does anyone remember Affixofix Glue? Not that I'm into sniffing glue or anything but it smelt just like almond, really nice. It came in a small round pale blue and white tub. Inside the lid was a little spatula that you used to get the white coloured glue paste out of the tub. It was fab stuff...

How come no one takes bowls out to the ice cream man to be filled these days?

Remember the glowing tubes? They started back in the 80's onto early 90's... The went from orange, to green, to yellow, etc... Everybody had a glowing tube at some point... specially the girls, they like to wrap them-selves with the tubes and show of to the boys. Hehe.
