How common!

[Sproutpie]

As children we were told we couldn’t have Smash as it was common. The same was said of duffle coats, white plimsolls and a haircut without a fringe.
What were you not allowed ?

Most of the above!

We weren't allowed to watch Coronation Street because it was "low life" apparently!

I wasn't allowed a 'Frankie Says Relax' t-shirt .

Yup to 'Coronation Street' but also 'Z-cars' because real people or the police did not behave like that! Also my D sister got into a load of trouble for sitting on a wall eating chips in her Girl Guide uniform.
