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 according to mummy, I'm going to be a proper little madam!"

Mid-70s, if memory serves?

What was the game show where schools competed against each other and they all jumped into a pool at the end ‘away you go’ ?

I know the programme I dreamed our school going to do it as I absolutely hated swimming in cold pools

Does anyone else remember calling a story time on the phone? And you had to sit in the cold draughty hallway listening to it?

I remember calling Santa , the speaking clock , possibly stories too until they put a lock on it .😞

@JRHartleysmum Haha, I'd completely forgotten about this but yes used to terrify me too, but not as much as when when Bruce Banner turned into the Incredible Hulk with his scary eyes!

Long party dresses for girls in the mid 70s.

Velvet knickerbockers after that.

Ra-ra skirts, jelly shoes and bags in the 80s.

Jane Fonda's workout on a cassette tape that you'd taped for your mum and nan off her friend's copy using your ghetto blaster.
