THINGS YOU DON'T SEE ANYMORE (Part 2)

[shutthatdoor]

I have not had my hands on an 'Apollo Space Mission' picture card from packets of Tea since at least 1974. (PG Tips?) Me and a friend used them as the basis for a school project on space travel, circa 1973/4-ish.

I had to tackle a rather minging toilet (not mine!) and a full container of Vim brought it up a treat! Ta Might be useful for some 'cat issues'

Somewhere back in the depths of this thread is a conversation about Peter Maturi. An item in the YMP today announces that the firm has now ceased trading and now really is something we won't see anymore.http://www.secretleeds.co.uk/forum/Threads.aspx?

I was in there last week.Didn't buy anything, which sort of proves the point.

about 1950 there were machines that were red in colour, had a steel arm and if you put a penny in you could print your name and address or similar up to about 30 letters on to an aluminium strip, there was a type of clock with the letters on and you moved the dial each time to the letter you wanted to stamp out. we kids thought it was wonderful. trouble was after you had the strip completed you had no use for it. (no wonder they did not last long)

Not quite see, as hear any more.As a kid, middle aged blokes had a bizarre habit of saying " I thang-yoh'" instead of "thanks" or more normally "thank you".Would also "thanking-you".All sounded weird anyway.I think it was from wartime stuff on the radio.Anyway not heard it for some time.

Or walking around like a chicken..?We must have been very easily amused back then.....
