to wonder why my posts are nearly always ignored on MN?

[brizzledrizzle]

Am I as invisible here as in real life?

How about Shellsuits eh, lets hhope they never make a comeback?

Not to mention chitchiness.

Your feeble attempt to hi-jack my intellectual property is doomed to failure. There is an injunction in the post.

Regarding your fashionable outfits - all I can say is, thank God cameras don't seem to have been invented - my imagination is making my brain scream as it is.

Aaaah, yes! Babycham! ("I'd love a Babycham" "You know what? I'd love a babycham") "The genuine champagne perry", if I remember rightly. You can still get it, you know.

Bugger - link disappeared. Just google it.

I see you want to play hard ball, @Schaden. It’s not too late to join melen and me for a conciliatory Babycham at our nearest Berni Inn. She has whipped out her green shield stamps specially.

I was born in a Berni Inn. True story.

Truly, this thread is the gift that keeps on giving

I was born in a Berni Inn. True story.

That makes a change from Irish Cream after dinner coffee.

I never knew that Green Shield stamps could be used in a Berni in. We went to a Berni Inn because it was posh but I never saw my parents paying with the stamps.

Remember the sweet trolley?

@Schaden come on now, you know you want a babycham at the berni inn with me & Myimaginary, my treat I have the green shield stamps & will stump up for chicken in a basket as well.
@Kirta Pleeese tell us more.

@Sadie & @CaptainKirk 🤭

Well . . . it seems a shame to fall out over a word and the huge sums of money it will bring flooding in .

Blimey - I typed "chicken-in-a-basket" before I'd even read your post melen.

Talk about the Twilight Zone

doo-de-doo-de-doo-de-doo-de (etc)

@Schaden 😂😂😂 yeahyy knew you would com round, that outfit is definitely dressing for success.
I don’t even know where I am dredging up these memories from yy Black Forest gateau & orange juice for starters, we know how to live.

I had more Co-op stamps than Green Shield ones. Although there was a Green Shield Shop in Nottingham, bloody miles from anywhere where you could go and "spend" your ill-gotten stampy gains.

@dontcallmelen those fluffy mule slippers with heels made a big comeback in the late 90s I think it was when Agent Provocateur sold them.

@brizzledrizzle I'm a thread killer too, step back and watch the tumbleweed pass through this one after I've posted

My parents put me in flared cords in the 70s. During the summer. It's no wonder I've turned out like this.

It was worse for my DBs, they had to wear shorts dungarees in some sort of synthetic rayon-type fabric when they were small. Imagine the sweating in them.

Babycham did I hear you say? Don't mind if I do melen!
Can we have a Prawn Cocktail starter?
I'll just peel my trews from the big static ball in the dryer at the Launderette!

I had some burgundy corduroy dungarees in the 70s. I was a teenager, so cannot blame my parents. I looked a rare treat.

All welcome for babycham & prawn cocktail/ chicken in a basket & Black Forest gateau at the berni inn, we need to decide a dress code.
@Fuzzy I have even more horrors that I can share, that had nothing to do with my dm’s obsession with crimplene, does anyone remember that awful pretend scratchy wool, that jumpers & cardigans were made off it used to cackle & practically spark when you moved, I had a lovely lurid yellow twinset made of the stuff.

Hello Purple, nah no thread killers here you will be fine enjoy the silliness.

I also had a pair of navy cord trousers with a sheepskin edging round the hem, which I wore with a blue and yellow smock top. I must have looked as though I had trodden in a sheep dip. Ah...my hippy phase....

Chicken-in-a-basket, what an invention!

Yes - it was TREWS, they were called, not slacks.

We called them stirrup pants. Is trews an old name for trousers?

Yes! Crackling knitwear. I'd forgotten that.

I think I remember I liked my cords but they weren't particularly comfortable in the summer of 1976.

The dungarees I meant were this sort of thing.

Kids wore trews
Adults wore slacks
Pants were knickers.

@Fuzzy oh Lordy now that must have an outfit to behold😂
