This saccharine sentimental rose-tinted - little did we know there really was a BBC kids entertaining DJ nonce round every corner as Bazza pointed out earlier - nostalgia lark can go on and on can't it?
Bloody slinkies ...just like etch-a-sketch..took about an hour or two before you broke 'em for good.
Remember The Great 'You'll Have Someone's Eye Out With That' Clackers Moral Panic of 1972ish?

Here's a jolly number for a Saturday...enjoy:
Oh and gotta have this:

building wooden boats and floating them on the lake
helping dad load his churchwarden briar pipe with old shag
eating the excess suet on your mums steak and kidney pudding
hiding behind the sette when the insurance man comes a calling on his push bike
scarlet fever
cleaning chimneys
leaving your doorstep open, and contrary to popular belief, still having the family silver nicked.
the brush salesman ..for all your quality brush wants
gay overweight gangsters
policemen dancing with fat jamacian house wives at 'carnival'
kettle broth ..a mixcture of bread, lard, boiling water, salt and pepper to keep the nation from starving in the second world war..my dozy grandad ate it every morning up to his death in 1986
sitting under a clock at waterloo station wearing a carnation
being gay feeding the ducks and greeting russian spies with the words . 'the weather in krakow is bleak, is it not comrade?'

I found my Civil War cards at my mum's house. Plus the Confederate dollars you used to get in the pack. Everyone wanted the card with the cavalry bloke impaled on the stakes. Also found the 1970 World Cup coins by Esso and a full set of football club badges.

Keynesham that's KEYNESHAM. Horace batchelor's pools prediction thing advertised on Jimmy Saville's show on radio Luxemburg - remember him.
also the Corona man getting money back on corona bottles and beer bottles at the off licence.
David Jacobs and Janice Nichols on Juke box jury.
Dixon of Dock Green. Z cars.
For his "infra draw method" on Radio Luxembourg 208, he spelt it out and spelt it again and again but presumably being a person from Somerset, you of all people should know that it was KEYNSHAM, spelt K-E-Y-N-S-H-A-M, Keynsham Bristol.
I must get out more.
For my own part, all I can add to Ted's incisive list (I used to drive to LR in a 1960 Cresta PA) is the sale of Durex in the barber's shop. "Something for the weekend sir?"
PS I remember that Jimmy Sovile show, The Teen and Twenty Disc Club
PPS - Janice Nicholls was on Thank Your Lucky Stars (I'll give it foive)
Yes, going out now
