when you were a youngun
atm ehre is seemst o be Jane norman

RustyBear - No, but Epsom/Reigate were my nearest towns.

My DCs were both born in Epsom

Can't remember the coolest one but can remember that no one wanted a Hitchens one.

Had to be Next....my sis rebelled and took an Asda carrier bag only to be pelted with wet, wadded paper towels with drawing pins stuck in......they were a bunch of blardy snobs at my school!!

Rusty - in Epsom District Hosp? I had my wisdom teeth out there - it was horrid! I had it done with just a local anaesthetic and they didn't give me any cotton wool to soak up the blood AND the nurse I needed to make another appointment with kept me waiting for ages. I dripped blood all over the place and went home looking like an extra from a Hammer House of Horror film. Hope you had a better time!

All this from a bag!

I really can't remember people taking much notice..

Now I always make sure I take my lunch to work in a Waitrose or M&S bag - the fridge is full of Tesco & Asda bags so mine makes it easier to spot

Never took carrier bags but normal bags were either Bennetton, those awful jelly bags (which are now coming back in argh!) or carpet bags

Jelly bags!!! Oooh anyone remember the Jelly shoes???

we used to turn ours inside out so you could not read chelsea girl etc on them

After my arm ysurplus bag I used to carrya round a sort of wicker picnic baslet but smaller. Was that the fashion once?
And a jelly bag. But you had to put all your stuff inside a plastic bag inside the jelly bag so as not to lose it.
And a denim rucksack that i sewed badges onto and grolsch tops!

I think jelly shoes have a lot to do woith my utter inability to warm to crocs.

yes we had jelly bags and bennetton was posh but the best bags were either the suitcase or the picnic baskets ones these were obviously smaller versions

grolsch tops! i used to attach them to my shoes.

not my jelly shoes, I hasten to add

Snap pear and hatwoman!

good to know it wasn;t just me...

Maybe showing my age here or even the fact I grew up on the South Coast but the coolest bag for a while was "The Big Snob" Bag.
Fabric and from a shop called SNOB-have no idea whether it was national or not.

Hatwoman - were you a Brosette by any chance??!!

gosh snob yes and the big brown bag think that may have been the same as snob

Oh Sally-so glad I am no talone-or indeed imagining it

obviously my bag went with my praire dress and my ra ra skirt

Oh and you as well PickledPEar-anyone else?

nope. couldn't abide them
