Do you remember when there were only 4 different types of shampoo? Dry , Normal, Greasy and Medicated? I had oily hair and the only only type of shampoo was Lemon and Lime, I used to hate it, then along came a product call Agree ( anyone rember that?) it didn't stink of limes or lemons, and I loved it - unfortunately I don't think it was on the market that long. Mother always used to buy Vosene for the family - hated the smell of that too lol

Do you remember the plastic flowers - daffodils that came free with boxes of washing powder? mother had a good collection of those.

Remember the paper dollies and clothes on the back page of your comic?

Remember stacking your single records in a certain order so they didn't wobble?

Try Camp coffee with ice cold milk. Delicious.

And when there were only BBC1, 2 and ITV? Yet there were a lot more interesting programmes then than now we have 100s!

Tumbarumba and ClothesPeg. How patronising that was, with Shirley Abicair! She's 97 now.
Andy Pandy and Teddy - I loved teddy.

We did not have a TV until I was in my teens but our neighbours did and as a child (5-8) I used to go round there to watch the above and later, Popeye. I had never heard of or tried spinach which I now love.

It was radio which entertained me.
