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’

And speaking of BA -

That's handy, Harry - stick it in the oven.

We had a clapping game that went,
'Under the bramble bushes,
Down by the sea,
We'll get married,
And start a fam il ee,
With a boy for you,
And a girl for me,
Oh so happy,
We shall be,
Under the bramble bushes,
Down by the sea.

Teenage Suzy Ooo, ah, I lost my bra, I left my knickers in my boyfriend's car.

Also a skipping song,
Not last night, but the night before,
24 robbers came knocking at my door.

HA ! I Remember that. not inappropriate for children at all 😂

As I went out, to let them in...

I loved all those rhymes as a kid. We had bramble bushes all around my playground too so we'd all go round eating the brambles as well 😄

Wee Fred Savage.

Heads down, thumbs up (on wet plays)

-Milk? Urgh!
-It’s what Ian Rush drinks
-Ian Rush?
-Yeah and he says if I don’t drink lots of milk I’ll only be good enough to play for Akrington Stanley
-Akrington Stanley, who are they?
-Exactly!

Hong Kong Phooey!

Clunk Click Every Trip ( thanks to Jimmy Saville)

Three six nine
The goose drank wine
The monkey went to heaven in a street car line
The line broke
They all got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat
Clap clap

Nominating this thread for classics!

Hey Hey we're the Monkees

Loved Heads Down Thumbs up. It was wet a lot where I grew up!

Ladders we used to play at Guides a lot. Floor was always filthy. I'm amazed that more legs didn't get broken.

Rita, Sue and Bob too

we're having a gangbang, we're having a ball

Battle of the Planets (G-Force) with Jason, Princess, Tiny and a wee robot

70's magnetic shooting gallery - this was ace!

KP crisps advert - that's not a potato, it's all covered in mud.

It was more of an "aahhhhhhahhhh tellinnnnn" round here

Crackerjack? Oooh I could crush a grape!

It wasn't a cartoon, it was a show called chockablock, which had real presenters (Chockagirl and Chockabloke) who drove a little yellow truck and operated a big yellow machine.

They started each episode by saying Chockagirl checking in and ended with Chockagirl checking out.

It was always a good day when it was Chockagirl not Chockabloke

One man went to mow, went to mow a meadow
sang on every school coach trip ever

Oh.

That’s rather more innocent than our school trip songs.

There were different versions !

Oh God, I still say that now. Along with "course you can, Malcolm" 🤦🏻‍♀️

Wasn't that the amazing skipping craze in New York/USA that came to the UK? Malcolm McLaren did a song about it?
The athleticism and timing is just incredible and love this song!

Does anyone remember Bertha? A programme on CBBC about a factory?
