I was born in early 80s, so very much an 80s/90s child. Another thread has got me reminiscing about things from the past which I loved but are now no longer available or popular/often seen? My childhood wan't the greatest in many respects and there are some gaps in my memory where thankfuklly I have been able to block some of the nastier things out but I did have some wonderful memories, mostly centered around books, TV or food!
What were your things that you loved as a child but are now obsolete?
I remember as a child at Primary School being part of a book club (Puffin books) and we were given a catalogue for the week and we would choose which books we wanted. I loved reading and was so happy when my books arrived each time. I think it was once a month or maybe every quarter?
Milk jelly/blancmange in the shape of a rabbit
socks with ladybirds on them- think Woolworths did them? (or am I dreaming)
Bagpuss (You can get them on DVD now and Youtube have them I think but they don't make TV like that anymore, do they?)
ditto Pigeon Street
roller discos!!!
Magic Steps shoes with the key at the bottom. All the popular girls had them. I badgered my mum until I got mine
Katz cartoons on little cards that came with the ballet shoes from the dance accessories shop. They had cats doing different ballet poses on them!
Those Keepers toys. I wnated the swan one for ages.
Children's World shop. They had a play area too.
