Preparing and cooking it
Those were the days.

Does any one remember that if you didn't put the pan stick on properly you had an orange face and a white neck. :P
And back combing your hair into a cottage loaf style, my I'd forgotten all about that yeh and making sure you didn't have a hole in the back of your head ;D
That really cheap lacquer that you needed soap spirit to get it out or you looked as tho' you'd got nits, cant believe I did that. ::)
What about this one wearing your Marks cardigan back to front and pom poms on your skating boots.  ;D
These memories are so good

[supersprout]

Speaking of looking like you had nits, Dry Hair Shampoo, can't believe we fell for it :o

[Hyacinth]

back-combed cottage-loaf hairstyle? Does Princess Anne still have it?

Mr. Max Factor..coming back to me now...twas Creme Puff....."smoothes on like powder, stays on like cream"  yeah right! ::)

That dry shampoo stuff? Bought some a few weeks ago for a friend in hospital & had the dubious pleasure of putting it on for her....yuk....a trip down Mem'ry Lane I could have done without.

[grawrc]

Gave up makeup when I was 13  :-[ :-[... 8) and have never backcombed. Couldn't stand the smell of hairspray etc

I used to love 'June and Schoolfriend' mag and the Chalet School books......of course Pony mag was my absolute fave.
Mother watched Emergency Ward 10 I know! Did the Craddocks REALLY wear Marigolds for preparing salads? And there was Crossroads of course....

[Shas]

How about this girls (and probably some of you guys),

paper knickers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Horrible.. Only tried 'em once.  My mum went potty when she saw 'em.

Yep, you can still get brisket if you a good local butcher, although I think they call it rolled beef now.  Had some last Sunday actually.  Used to be a bit tough when done in the oven, but now I leave it all night in the slow cooker and it melts in the mouth.

What this thread has reminded me of is a set of books I read when I was 11. Up till that moment I had read books as part of school lessons not for enjoyment. Jennings goes to school etc. change all that, I've not stopped reading since.

[Shas]

I used to love the Jennings books.  Are they out of print now?  I remember a poem in one of them which went around the class,

"Latin is a language, as dead as dead can be,
 It killed the aincent Romans, and now it's killing me'

'Nuff said

[Chocolate]

You know what Shas you must be able to read my mind I tried the paper knickers only once, was a bit quick pulling em up and the sides split ???
Yeah the taste of brisket you cant beat it
What about those record players that only played one record   saved up for ages to get that  ::)
Radio Caroline under the bed covers so mam didn't hear it.  :D
And Jail House Rock  ::)
Cant guess what went with the youth club to see the Beatles when Love Me Do first came out, we all started screaming, folk had only just started doing that,the rest of the audience were mortified  ;D ;D ;D

I read all the Jennings books too, at least till my father decided they weren't intellectual enough for me. My sister was into the Chalet School books, so I probably got through all of those as well. When I was little I had all the Thomas the Tank Engine books, the original pre-awareness ones where one of the engines goes into the wrong tunnel in one story, and in those days, came out 'as black as a n....'! I don't know what they replaced it with. I used to read the news pages in my father's 'Telegraph', and was totally overwhelmed by the pages and pages of bumph about the last few hangings. That's something we can do without.
