I can't talk about all the sweets and goodies cos i sell most of what's been mentioned. But what about the first computers, Sinclair spectrum with a massive 15k or even better, a 48k memory.

Of course there was also the BBC computer, Atari, Commodore 64k and you had to run all your programs through a tape cassette player.

I'm surrounded by all these yummy things that PIO members mention on here. That's why i'm developing love handles

What about the first computers! Who can forget their first Sinclair Spectrum 15k and then Sir Clive brought out the 48k. He also invented the C5 motorcycle/bicycle that was a big flop.

I used to have an Atari and a Commodore 64k. I think i spent my teens playing Space Invaders and Asteroids. Ah well, those were the days

Taping the Sunday evening Top 40 on a portable cassettle player and trying to press "stop" before the DJ started talking over the end of the song!

(and then learning the lyrics to every song line by line afterwards)

I did this too!! Me and a friend were talking about this a couple of days ago. What a coincidence. We were saying how the cassette always came to the end halfway through your favorite song!

marty and debs is on a distinguished road
OMG i did this too !!!

Just had a good chuckle !!!!

Anyone remember The Moonmins !!!


Grange Hill in the old days with Tucker,

Why Don't you ( in the school hols )

Dog Tanion and the Musket Hounds,

Reading all the threads brings back great memories , especially the sweets.

God , used to get a huge bag of pennie sweets for 10p. Those were the days !!!!

Anyone remember a mint bar that was like a honeycomb texture with chocolate covering , can't remember what it was called.

Have enjoyed going back in time !!

Deb x
