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’

Have asked for this to go in classics - been on a proper journey down memory lane! Thanks OP

The talking dog.

I've just been looking it up on YouTube and it was actually from 1980 we must've seen the repeats in about 86. it looks bloody scary and so weird. 😱 I've always remembered the theme tune. trying to post a link to YouTube but I don't know how to do it!

Eek! Noodle mouses!

Anyone remember Ghostwatch on the BBC in 92?
Presented by Sarah Green and others.
I was absolutely terrified!

I remember crisps just called tubes do you mean them? didn't John mcinroe tennis player advertise them. You cannot be serious

Pepsi challenge.

The yo-yos from Coca-Cola, 7up, Fanta, if you got a golden ring pull you could get a gold yo-yo

Pretty sure both the above used to do shopping centre roadshows with loads of prizes etc.

Button moon!

Only because I lasted about five minutes before deciding 'this is fucking shit, they're doing a pretend live broadcast thing like we all did in our school plays for the last ten years' and changing channel, only to find later that people were claiming in Talking Bollocks from a script Heads shows that it was absolutely terrifying and everybody believed it was real.

@theblackradiator defo hoops and tubes in a bag. Made by Smiths and we're really odd

On....and on.....

And Ariston

Chewits. Chewier then barrow in furnace bus station!

Snowy snowy I can see the pub from here!

Who remembers the water puzzles?
They were usually tall with buttons to press to get the ball or whatever into the bit you needed it to go into. I hope someone knows what I'm on about cos I loved those as a kid!
Also sand pictures, we had a ridiculous amount of those in our house with my mum telling us, "it's really quite something cos it's a new picture every time you flip it over" She was right really. Wish they'd make a comeback.

@NeverDropYourMooncup I was completely convinced by Ghostwatch and totally fell for it 🤣
Watched it with the lights out that Halloween on a tiny black and white telly!

Omg, for years I had no idea what the guy was saying!

Presumably it was before I could read (or recognise a harp) but it was just a mouse to me - time for a cool shaa baa

Fuck my boots, this is a blast from the past. I'd like to thank OP for restoring some of my increasingly shattered memory.

Button moon. Bagpuss. Accrington Stanley. JR Hartley. Kiora.

Anyone remember those really weird vodka cinema adverts where the vodka bottle would really distort whatever was going on normally? Very inventive, if REALLY WEIRD. Like something from David Cronenburg.

Oh and Auntie Beryl, down the Dog and Duck...
