concorde flying over

Great Shout.

Even into my 20's - whenever you looked up and saw concorde flying over, you had to point to your mate and say "concorde"!! How we miss it!

Great memories on this thread - can relate to a lot of them - porn mags always a load dumped in the alleys where I lived.

Summer holiday TV consisting of Tin Tin, Robinon Crusoe, Banana Splits, On White Horses and The Double Deckers.

All old women having white hair (sometimes with a purple tint!)
