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’

Vinegar tits!

My dh said this the other day and I couldn’t remember where it was from, so thanks!!

Did anyone else have a glo-worm? I bloody loved mine - it was a green worm but had a yellow/orange tummy when you pressed it

I did. I can still picture my much adored glo-worm.

did anyone have those small toys that were different jewels and then you opened them and they turned into a puppy or there was a pony one a princess one etc can't remember what they were called. and popples? they turned inside out. hope someone remembers what i'm on about!

Anyway I'm starting to look a bit like Lizzy Birdswirth these days😫

In the heart of Transylvania, in the vampire hall of fame, yeah, there's not a vampire zanier than Duckulaaaaa.

The big red building on Golders Green Road

The y were called 'keepers' - my sister had the swan and I broke the key

no keepers were different these didn't have a key they just clipped open

let's go through the round window

🎶Keypers, keypers, what's inside those Keypers!🎶

Oh, I had Pocketeers! Had forgotten about them.

When I was 5 I got Penny Puppy Walker for Christmas. You squeezed the flower which had pipes attached to the doll - the air pressure made her and the dog walk.

And Merlin computer game when older - was very popular when I took it to school. Only basic games like memory stuff, noughts and crosses etc. we thought it was amazing! 🤣

We watched How We Used to Live at school - loved it and would still watch it if off sick. Other sick day programmes: The Sullivans, Sons & Daughters, The Galloping Gourmet, Crown Court and The Young Doctors.

Oh, and that Picture Box programme with Alan Rothwell. Always creeped me out a bit
