It’s Saturday morning in the early 80’s and I’m ringing up Swap Shop to swap my Tiny Tears for a Mr Frosty. Anyone willing to take on Tiny Tears and swap for something else ?

Clackers (broken wrist) for a gonk 😃

Amazing. As soon as I saw that number I knew what it was!

01 811 8181. My first thought too! We used to sing it at school 😁

Haha! Was just thinking the other day how slightly weird it is that I remember that number so clearly!

😂so did we

The number is imprinted on my brain, along with all my school friend’s numbers. I’d struggle to tell you my mobile but I could tell you my best friend’s from 1985

(And may I admit that I was a teenager before I realised Posh Paws was Swap Shop backwards??)

And I was three weeks off being 50 (ie now)!

I wasn’t allowed to watch Tiswas (today it’s Saturday, wear a smile) as my mum said it was ‘stupid’

Fuck. I'm today years old when I found that out... but I am a youngster, still a few short year till I hit 50

Every time I see this thread title my brain sings 0181 811 8181

Knew it looked wrong, thank you!

I remember when you could just put "Noel" or later "L&K" on an envelope and it would get there.

Don't forget to swing your pants, and importantly "we don't do duvets!"
