From your childhood name something that people 10 years or more younger than you probably wouldn't understand

Lighthearted thread, with a curly wurly to the best that makes me say to myself "omg I remember that"

British bulldogs

The shower attachment where one pipe went to cold and one to hot (if the cold popped off you risked 3rd degree burns to the scalp)

In the middle

My dad saving all the 50p’s for the rental telly, it always went off in the middle of a film

Buying a pair of shoes out the neighbours catalogue and paying them off £1 a week

Hand me downs from the girls next door

Playing Hopscotch on the slabbed pavement, no tarmac walkways in them days

Climbing trees, making dens, fishing on the canal, and just generally being out all day

"Sending your camera film off to Truprint to be developed

Once received photos back after a holiday and opened them up to discover they had sent the wrong ones. We received pictures of a woman posing in several different sets of underwear!

Making what we called a scrambler bike.

Which basically meant stripping off all but the essential stuff.

This predates the grifter and the BMX, it was basically a dirt bike for off road fun.
