Apologies for double-post (initially stuck this in a 'Stupid little things...' thread reply) but this definitely belongs in here:

Warning: you might become 10 years old again for a couple of minutes ;-)

Then you got over 11 and loafers, brogues and royals came out.

Proper leather shoes and added steel tips. Well grown up. ( I still have some)

Docs for the match or steelies.

(hammered with ads for shoes now ffs)
 
A tramp walks into a home decorating shop.
The guy behind the counter greets him

"morning, what can I do for you today?"

"2 bottles of methylated spirits please!"

The guy has seen this before "no way buddy, I know your game, you're gonna drink em, it'll kill ya I won't have any part of that... Sorry"

The tramp with tears in his eyes goes on to explain.. "sorry its not what it looks like, I've got this painting job to do and my brushes need cleaning... with the money I'll earn I can get into a shelter and reconnect with my estranged family and start to rebuild my life again".

The guy behind the desk is genuinely moved by the man's story and decides to help him out.

"I'm sorry man, good on you I hope you make your dreams come true... here you go 2 bottles that's 3 pounds"

The tramp thanks the man, pays him and picks up a bottle in each hand and then pauses for a second and says..

"Would ya have a couple of cold ones by chance?"
 
Just a random memory but it seems mad now. Remember when you could just pay at the turnstile(Kippax I don't know about the seats I was not that posh) Big games would be all ticket, but others you could just ruck up to, and there wasn't an army of dudes wanting to search your bag.
Also the tokens on the programmes for getting tickets to limited games

I don't know if I imagine it, or truly remember it, but I'm sure blue tits used to peck holes in the silver tops on our doorstep.

Your mum left egg cups with the empties for the milkman to put on top of the new bottles to stop them pecking the silver foil.

Haha, I don’t think I’ve laughed so much at 1:30 in that video. How the dad didn’t crash that car!!!

And the kid far left at 2:36 !!!

Brilliant.

Oh and we didn’t always wear striped tshirts every day.

Good spot! I hadn't seen that. I'll have to check out the rest of it again for any other little 'adjustments'...
