When I was a wee kiddie at school in the juniors I remember having the chance each year to buy a new Dayglow Gym bag, You had a choice of things like a picture of a swimmer, a footballer, or cyclist ect and they came in a range of colours Like Day Glow Orange, although I remember seeing them in Flourescent pink, a bright yellow and maybe even a lime green.
And they all had that fantastic smell, you know like a brand new beachball smell.

If you know what I am on about Jeeze we're old

Anyone know where I can get one?

Dunno where you can get them but I was just telling my eldest (7) about them last night, as he had a bank book holder which smelt the same. When I was a kid, they were all orange with a footballer on the side (I think).

I can only remember the old blue rucksacks, mine didnt smell of beach *****, esp' after my younger bro, put a chickens leg in it for the entire summer holidays.

Did the chicken miss its leg?


I've still got one of the blue rucksacks, which i use for the occasional bash now and again.
Still got the black adidas bag but its so old the handle has gone solid and therefore not that nice to carry.

Those bags were for the council estate kids along with the woolly blazers in later years!

Dayglo drawstring bags= No mates at our school.

Kids were cruel but accurate

Steve Perriam

council estate ?

Nor had I Steve until somebody explained to me that the term we used at school is where you find the most Impreza's driving out of now.
