I Remember when I was a Boy

Here's one - I remember when it was still acceptable for kids to have shandys at the RSL - half beer, half lemonade ... well, don't know if it was acceptable, but we did it anyway!!! lol

And the words from the great Mrs.Brown "Keeping a man happy is easy. All you have to do is keep their stomach full and their testicles empty!".

So true. On the stomach bit that, err, is...

I think they were called a gestetner printer.
Schools often had them and some offices.

I can smell it now and can hear mum squwaking at me cause i was covered in blue ink hahahahahhahahahaha

Used to be a service tech on then X 2 on the fluid Growler
Fordigraph was another fluid duplicater Gestetner were ink duplicators

I remember when I was a boy that there is a cr@p load of stuff on here that relates in a big way. Then I turned late teens and everything from there till about 11 years ago is a blur. But I did like Mary Jane more than a lot and acid was great stuff and not deadly.

Here's one to think about,

Fire engines, I remember the old man in the pub getting snakes hissed, me sitting in the car and once in a blue moon he would come out with a Fire engine and a packet of Smiths crisps. God help me if I had the audacity to dare to ask what time we were going home. Seems a little wrong now but it was the norm back then.
