You can exclude those from the good old daysTry compiling a list of non appropriate tools used to open party 7s and party 4s
seen a hammer and screwdriver used and an attempt made with a brick
Yes those party big cans you had to pierce both ends usually the gas in the massive can like a small barrel A swine to open as it jetted up to hit the ceiling when poured it was as flat, and looked like diesel, tasted crap, party packs I think they were party Severn pint tins! Totally undrinkable , but we drunk it!Try compiling a list of non appropriate tools used to open party 7s and party 4s

Modern beer today is the reason pubs have closed , as you had to be so drunk to attempt drinking that stuff it corroded in the can!

Welcome back Wayne
I remember the days when being a 'Mod' meant you wore a fishtail parka and rode a Scooter, not kept an internet forum in check.
Black Jacks, Murray Mints (too good to hurry mints), and Cadburys dairy milk miniature chocolates from a machine on the wall. Remember letting my girlfriend ride my Chopper, kind of remember there was also a bike by the same name.
Who can forget the TV Series, UFO?
This stuff has probably all been posted, not read through every post.
My eyes are drawn to the bottom left hand corner for some reason......
A Potato shortage ( for some reason ) or 2 saw off the 6 of chips
Yes they went to 4p which was the old 8d from 2 & 1/2d- spud shortage my backside! , and then it just got crazy how much is a bag of chips to day over a £1 for a spud! some chippies even use them out of frozen bags horrible they absorb all the fat !
Remember we has a groan if there was a black eye in the chip in the old days!
It is commonly known as an eye in the potato one chip shop where I lived served enough eyes in their chips to see through the week!lol
decimalisation was a fantastic excuse to puzzle everyone to put the prices up in the shops as they even did away with the 1/2 pence!

well Mate, like High Chapparal but no so keen on The Virginian. What ever happened to "Western" serials? What do we get now non stop CSI of one sort or another. Bring back the Cowboys.
You may recall this.

It is Dougie. Most important thing in life is keep waking up in the morning!
My favourite was Alias Smith and Jones, inspired I'm sure by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
