Gen X where are you ????

[JRHartleysmum]

What are you ‘I’m old’ references that younger folk might not understand ?
I’ll start: ‘too orangey for crows, it’s just for me and my dog’

@BreakfastClubs @Inkypot @EmpressMoo thank you!
I’m going to go for the eBay ones!

I literally quoted this to my D.C. today who is in the middle of their GCSE exams. They just looked at me like

Run around... NOW!

I'm so glad you're able to get some for your cat, this has made me really happy!

"Geordie Racer, Geordie Racer..."

And, "one for all and all for one, muskehounds are always ready, one for all and all for one, helping everybody!"

Can’t imagine it post brexit (unfortunately)

Only a fool breaks the 2 second rule...

We've been to button moon, weve followed Mr Spoon...

"Yo ladies! Look at Raoul, bouncing up and down..."

Nah - Luton Airport!

My DH was on that 🤣

Phoning dial a disc (160?) with 2ps in the phone box.

And ads… this is regional, Granadaland… does anyone remember “call Eileen Bilton in Warrington Runcorn”?

Let's pretend is at an end, can you play at let's pretend? Just pretending, just pretending...

@Washyourfaceinmysink wow! What a claim to fame 🤣

Spontaneous human combustion, I was obsessed with that

What were those rubber things that used to come in boxes of cereals? We called them nipples, but I’m sure that wasn’t what they were actually called! Looked like one of the things from a pop toy and you used to stick them on a flat surface and wait for them to pop, seeing whose could go highest.

Black Lace also did “We’re Having a Gang Bang” (featured in film Rita Sue & Bob Too). Guessing you don’t play this one for the kids 🤣

Benson for beds

Number one for choice (choice)
Number one for service (service)
Benson for beds!

Was this northern regional thing?

I remember this one - grew up in Granadaland

The adventure game with the aspidistra called uncle

"Even if you do look like a big girl's blouse in it." Poor Harry in Portia's prize of a sparkly collar. Depressing to know that although sexism isn't quite as prevalent in advertising that it's still very prevalent in society 30 years later.

Insignias got everything, shampoo and shower gel. Deodorant and aftershave for a one all over smell. It's new insignia, teak it's all over nooooowwww!

Drink it in the sun

Adverts were awesome in the 80s and 90s.

I loved those and just called them poppers.

According to Wiki they have many names including eye poppers.

Fry’s Turkish delight…. Full of eastern promise

I bloody loved that advert, it was hypnotic

Stepping stones, stepping stones
One and two and three
When you cross the stepping stones
They'll bring you to me.

Everyone's a fruit and nutcase!
We're just making it up as we go along, you know..

Fingerbobs, fingerbobs

Mum, we'd rather have starved!

I hope that you win the bugs. If so we need another pic of the beautiful Izzy(And even if you don't but I hope that you do)
