This is a brilliant thread, remembering so many of these things. the desks with inkwells oh definitely though thankfully never old enough to use the inkwells. We did all have to write with fountain pens though, on creamy white paper, blue lined and a pink margin ruled line, either in jotter books or later in ring binder folders.

So here's another ...do you remember, Daytime TV with Open University programmes on BBC2 with skinny old before their time men wearing brown jackets with elbow patches?

While we're on TV, did you cry when the Blue Peter garden was vandalised? I was really upset and cried through my tea time.

I was in Fowey a few years ago on me jollies where I watched a chap delivering a large boat on a trailer,down to the harbour. He skillfully weaved his way through the buildings missing some by inches then got to a point where those black bollard things got in the way..he got out of the pick up,looked around at the options, shrugged,got back in,and proceeded to nudge the bollard over so he could get past...
 
Glass soda stream bottles, we one explode, thankfully whilst still in the machine!

We had the exact soda stream, from what i remember the syrup was nasty tasting even as a kid,
 
We had a soda stream 18 years ago when my lad was a nipper.
We used to exchange empty cylinders at ASDA.
 
Our exchange was usually Boots, so dad could look at the homebrew stuff (and us kids could play duck hunt on the Nintendo NES they had there)
 
We had a box on the back of the telly that took 10p coins (and two bob bits) then a bloke came every month to empty it. It always seemed to run out half way through star trek or planet of the apes
We had one of those in the 70's as well as a coin box on the leccy which took 50 pence and a gas meter under the sink which took 5 pence.
