Bump for this

i have been forced to ring up a woman from the stores department this morning, and apologise for calling her a Spacker and a Clown on my month chemical report form

the word spacker is apparently really offensive down south, so i assume its used quite often?

everybody who has been told the tale has proper LOL`d at it, maybe shes just having a bad day

bloody shandy drinking, southerner, spackers

My grandmother used some fantastic words like: the wireless, topple over and tumble over. My favourite though was when I was about to accidentally break something and she would say 'Don't do that dear, you'll end it!'

Needless to say all of the above are used by me on a regular basis and people don't know what I am on about!!

Greengrocer.

Transistor radio.

I 'video-ed' a programme last night.

Proper High Street shops that don't just consist of the usual suspects......M+S, Boots, Next, WH Smith etc etc.



And I have a pair of (unopened) pop socks in my drawer........

I used to use Pop Socks to filter my Sloe Gin. New ones I will add quickly.

They don't know what I mean if I ask for them in a shop now!

How about leg warmers, luminous shoelaces (thick) on trainers, waffle trousers, collarless shirts which make a comeback every now and again, and big red digit digital watches?

Words wise, indeed, some are coming through a retro revival down here too...spacker, mong, and at times, even 'Joey' makes a come back in our speech (though my Mrs can't remember/doesn't know who Joey Deacon even was!!!??)

Other things that stand out in my childhood (council estate in Brixton, South London if anyone asks), was the retro cars (particulaty mark 3 cortinas in horrid cream colours, or blue) and dormobiles, the hot summers (late 70's), cream soda in glass bottles, buying sweets by the 'quarter', weekend chocolates, spangles, pacers, quatro drink...Oh yeah, and the riots

Ah, don't you just love nostalgia!

I think the reduction in white dog poo is down to the change in the ingredients. I think cheapo dog food used to have bone ash and bonemeal added as a way of adding calcium and other trace nutrients, and to bulk it out. I think BSE put an end to that.

I don't see many hardcore young and trendy goths with dog collors on, and their faces painted with white paints like Dracula around here any more. What happened? Have they all become Johoba's Witnesses? Oh, I see less and less churches as well. That does make me sad, as churches were always such beautiful buildings
I don't hear people saying "cheerio" to one another either. If at any odd chance I hear that, it usually comes from someone who is still stuck in 1970s

Goes to show how the world moves on.

What a pretty girl! Her dress is quite cool too, but Christ, tell her to take that white face paint off, would you. She don't need to hide her lovely little face, man.
