Drink half pints of Soda Stream Canada Dry Ginger Ale with 1 of each colour of Skittles floating in it. All the ginger rich CO2 makes it very hard to drink when it's fizzing up my nose.

Eat as much cake, chocolate and ice cream as I liked and never gain an ounce.

Used to have a Friday and Saturday ritual in the 80's. Friday finish work at 10pm and then go clubbing. Saturday finish work at 6pm, go home with a 2 litre bottle of pepsi, large galaxy and listen to records or watch a video (remember those?). I really miss coming back from HMV with a bag full of 12" singles.

Re: What you did in the 70,s and 80s but you dont do now

listen to the Top 40 on Radio 1 , Sundays tea-time

listen to Radio Luxemburg secretly whilst in bed (early teens!)

Play with my Airfix soldiers (though I now COLLECT them)

Play many board games (although we have family staying with us at the mo so I've been playing Monopoly most of today - like I used to as a kid - with their kids cos I watched them & they had NO IDEA about the rules, and I ended up roped in) Been many years, but forgot how good a game it can be

Play marbles

Watch any decent telly ! (only 3 channels of course back then, but quality over quantity!)

Carry pies in a bag in my jacket pocket

Who else recalls that? - sandwich shops were totally unheard of , and even the concept of them seemed ridiculous (What ? you mean like somebody makes up the sandwich so I pay extra for that? Pah! - no chance!) so every time you went anywhere the great seventies staple of 'a pie in a paper bag' was crammed into your pocket
