Me thinks we are all children of the same era as I remember nearly everything you have all mentioned.

What about styl-a-phones which Rolf Harris advertised?!!

And Starskey and Hutch - my mum and dad used to go out every Saturday night and as soon as they had gone my nan and grandad used to let me and my brother come down stairs to watch it and feed us chocolate all night too....'it was our secret' is it any wonder I still eat choc in secret

My mum used to work for R Whites and I used to go to see her at work and I would go to the warehouse and there are always a crate of all the different pops in glass bottles with the metal tops and a bottle opener on the front of the crate - it used to love choosing a bottle and being allowed to open it all by myself.........

ah, happy days - when I look back I really did have a wonderful childhood

I remember stylophones

They were fun for a couple of moments. Did love the Rolf Harris programme on at the weekend. Those fantastic paintings. You couldn't work out what it was until the end, then from afar it was so obvious.

Who remembers soda syphons?

My grandparents had them cos they were very rich

I found this oldish thread and thought it was funny....believe me, I need funny today...

About the white dog poo....hubby and I were walking our three dogs afew days ago in a large forest park and I saw some and I actually said to hubby that I hadn't seen white dog poo for years and I didn't know why...but I do now, some naughty person must be feeding the dog bones! Well you learn something everyday!
