A quick bite on a chunk of cinder toffee then back out to play with your hoop and stick.

Your own hoop and stick, your mum and dad must of been made of money.

That's the rag thread hijacked.

Nothing better on a hot summer day than a frozen (orange) Jubbly or Vimto Jubbly which was my favourite.

Before Jubblies corner shops use to make and sell their own tub lollies.

sherbet flying saucers,

blackjacks and fruit salads 4 for 1 penny 240 p to the £1

liquerice root.

Two hours playing football in the sun. Then local shop for an 8p jubbly. Then two more hours football then another jubbly. Then two more hours football And a third jubbly from dawn until dusk. Every day of summer. With all that football I should have ended up a professional Footballer. Instead I ended up with high blood pressure from too much sugar from the jubblys

It was. Instead of only 3,000 united fans being there to witness us winning the title, over 70k were there when we actually did, via them losing to West Brom at the swamp.

You've been spinning that line for four years PB. - And it doesn't get stale. I still think GMP had something to do with it.

Mmmmmmm..........cinder toffee......

Lahoz might of clicked that James is taking the piss.

Spanish Mike Dean checking for the Penalty.

I think the conditions played into that not being given.

I liked bazooka chewing gum because of the transfer you got with it even though they were invariably crap and never worked very well.

You could save the wrappers and send off for a pair of X-ray glasses. I never had enough but used to wonder how they worked.

From what I’ve seen they were a pair of glasses with the words “X-Ray Vision” written on them and a swirly pattern on each lens. The “walkie-talkies” were two cans connected by a string. How they never got sued is remarkable.

My X-Ray glasses worked.
I see dead people.

Don't remember that. Clearly your memory is better than mine.

I can safely say that this was shit:

Lawyers didn't even try for shite like that back then. Caveot empore was the órder of the day.

Sorry, thought this was the United thread not some old farts reminiscing about the 1970's.

My bad . . .

Last few pages have been an enjoyable tribute act to one of our songs...."Just like united, you live in the past" with a mat impersonation of a confused baconface popping into the wrong place bewildered.

Your own hoop and stick, your mum and dad must of been made of money.

Obviously not in scouse land - their hoops would have been made of rubber - legally taken from any motor vehicle parked on the streets. Minis were the hoop of choice for toddlers whereas it would have been truck or bus tyres for the ancients.
