A trip down memory lane

There is some guy who comes round my partner's street in an open van, ringing a bell

Maybe a leper ?

Re: A trip down memory lane

We put our broken white dishwasher at the front of our house ... as the guy next door assured us that the scrap dealers would see it and take it away ..

It was still there a week later ... anyways after we come home from a day out we noticed some smartarse had written in big black ink on the side of the washer ... HOW LONG ??

I was so annoyed I got a marker pen and wrote on the other side ..

HOW RUDE !!


About ten minutes later one of our neighbors .. a 6'5" ex rugby ex police guy was banging on our front door !!!

Luckily by then I'd phoned a mate with a van to come round for it ...

So when he said to me .. " so how long !!?? "


I said "about 20 minutes !! "

Thankfully he didn't harm me

Never recall 'rag & bone " men when I was growing up. The modern version is simply place any old rubbish you want disposed outside your home .. make a call to council and they will be around within the week to remove it.

I had a Vic20 and later on an Amstrad CPC464. Fast forward 40 odd years and I have recently bought those systems to enjoy again!

I didn't have either of those, but did have a Sinclair ZX81 with its wobbly 16kB RAMpack, an Atari 400, then A C128, the special 1988 Olympics pack. I had so much fun with the C128 and bought loads of games, many in the £1.99/£2.99 budget range or full-price games reduced as they were older.

Later on I bought an Acorn Electron and used it for university course work in programming, but that wasn't a tenth of the enjoyment I got from the C128.
