I am a 40 something nostalgia nut. I have a 14 year old son and work for the NHS. I love my job and adore reading and trawling the net for info on anything 'old and no longer with us'
Tracy's tea party doll Sooo glad someone else remembers Tracy Tea Party, she had a lovely smiley face and I seem to recall as she poured the 'tea' she closed her eyes and bowed her head at her 'guest'. I thought she was brill to be able to do all that!!
Rag and Bone Man In the late 60's when I was about 2 or 3 the 'bone man' as I called him used to scare the living daylights out of me. I could hear him shouting 'rags' several streets away and I became quite hysterical so mum had to turn the radio up so I couldn't hear him!!
White stilettos Think the worst look was when you saw someone wearing black tights with white stilettos a real fashion no no!!
Harrington Jackets OMG I remember wearing one of these with a fred perry top and levis jeans, thought I was really cool and hip during the mod/ska/rude craze circa 1979/80
Ladybird Books Hi Scouttie, you can find hundreds of ladybird books on ebay. I have quite a collection now all from there, Chez.
Birds Eye Crispy Cod Fries Oh yes I remember Birdseye rissoles and I loved em also does anyone remember Brunchies - egg n bacon wrapped in breadcrumbs, they were yummy too - want em back NOW!!!
Wimpy My very first burger experience when I was little was a Wimpy. I remember the lovely helping of fried onions and toasted bun. It was my weekly treat when in town with my mum and although I didn't eat a lot I always finished off my Wimpy!!!
