[Misc] Things in the Sixties/Seventies.

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Jumpers for goalposts. (Someone had to say it.)

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Sideboards - facial not furniture.

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Still enjoy a bacon pudding today

very nice!

my old Nan used to wrap up the suet in cloth and steam it for god knows how long
then a big tablespoon of golden syrup all over it
wonderful!

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Not running onto the pitch on 90 minutes. In my first Albion years in the late 70’s, kids including myself used to run onto the pitch to pat players on the back.

my first memory of visiting the Goldstone pitch was the infamous Bristol Rovers game

and remember thinking how slippery & churned up it was

how Bristol managed to score 8 goals on it,I'll never know!

 

[Weststander]

Record players that also played at 16rpm and 78rpm.

8 track players with cartridges. My Dad had one on his car.

 

[RossyG]

Kids reading comics.

Whizzer and Chips
Buster (with The Leopard From Lime Street)
Look-In
Krazy
Cheeky
Action! (with Hook Jaw the shark)

Now the only people who buy comics are over-40 and the comics are American imports.

We did give them a lot of help, that day.

Also tapes or, to give them their proper title, Phillips Compact cassettes.

This thread has turned a 180 degrees, from things you never saw in the 60/70s, to things from that era you never see now

I’ve still got my collection, and a hifi tape player. Haven’t listened to them in years.

Good point - apologies - guilty as charged - could say something about the age of some NSCers - a mix of nostalgia allied to forgetting your original post!

I had a full attaché type case that must have held 40 plus cassettes, all the official pre- recorded type, no home recordings.
I left the lot on an Edinburgh to London train. I was heartbroken.

how I wish I'd saved all my collections

football programmes,records,football sticker albums,concert stubs,football stubs

I did used to do a scrapbook with newspaper cuttings of anything to do with Brighton
what a read that would be now

 

[smartferndale]

Have to agree re comics, where are the heroes today, I give you Roy Race Dan Dare, Morgan, Bernard Briggs, Alfred T upper. The Wolf of Kabul, Braddock, Johnny Cougar and the legend that was Wilson, I could list more Paddy Payne etc.
Compare Beano annual 2020 with any from the 60. Newer ones total pony and waste of paper

I’ve one of those cases, plus an overspill. Also all my 7” singles. Mainly home recordings from the radio or my own listings from vinyl.

Women serving on warships nowadays. I have no problem with it, why not but difficult for somebody who was on ships in the 70s to imagine

In 1973 I subscribed for the next 52 weeks Beano’s, the total cost £1.

A different world.

I’ve got the programmes all the way back, but sadly I had match and gig ticket stubs pinched in storage at some stage. An entire tea chest was stolen.

I’ve still got the Albion 1976/77 promotion season ceramic tile.

 

[METALMICKY]

Being sent to the shops as a young lad, to buy my mum's cigarettes.

OMG this! My older sister recovering from a hangover on a Sunday morning. Make her a cup of coffee and off to the corner shop for Twenty Carlton Long.

 

[GT49er]

People walking down the street on their own talking - or even shouting. You didn't see that in the 70s unless the person was a bit loopy.
