". I say this because I love your Avetor a car number plate " 666 XJW" that's cool."

the story about the number plate:

i was at one of Cantleave and Nuggets' infamous partys and we got onto the subject of personal plates--my previous car had an XJW plate-----and Cantleave suggested we look on the DVLA website for unused plates for sale---a search showed m666xjw-----Cantleave held a loaded banana to my head and my credit card came out. so he has to take full responsibility for it. "he made me do it "

Why did I start this thread?

A) Today I went to the second hand shop to purchase a " tape deck"

Why?

The main reason In the " Eighties" I was in Covent Garden and a busker was playing and selling his music on " tape". He was brilliant and his songs were about his life. Without buying the " tape deck" today I would never hear again "SARI: Peartree in the Wilderness by Kai Jansen, a busker in the 80s who sang and wrote about his life and greatest love.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s, but I remember a few things left over from the 70s.

Chopper bikes, for one. I always wanted one of those as a kid.

Dodgy haircuts was another. I never wanted those as a kid.

White dog poo. You never see that now.

The birth of my kids, their first words. Working late at night arriving home and my baby girl

crying, I take her in my arms and we dance until she fall asleep. Teaching my sons to fish, camping

trips and then it went down hill,got baptized as a JW it all went to hell....

Great shows in the 70'Happy Days, All in the family, Sanford and son, Mash and the

Love Boat.......

My dad had a van for his business. On weekends, he'd take out all his tools and gear from the back and we'd go to the beach. Since the van only had two seats in the front, with no seat belts, he'd put patio chairs in the back of the van for us to sit on. If we ever got rowdy or whinged too much, he'd either brake, accelerate or swerve, sending us flying in the back. We laugh about it now but these days, he'd probably get arrested, despite us never getting hurt.

I grew up in Australia so fish and chips were the best thing too. Wrapped in newspaper, of course. We'd sneak out of the schoolyard once a week, to the local chippy around the corner. Things always taste best when forbidden. We'd toss our sandwiches in the bin or feed them to the magpies. When we got caught, we'd get the stick for punishment, and not do it again. For a few weeks.
