If you couldn't buy the mags and you hadn't lucked out on hedge porn, there was always National Geographic.
Can you name things that youngsters of today won't know?

Mechanical jack hammers at roadworks. Can't remember the last time I saw one of these being used. They used to frighten the life out of me when I was a kid.

Used one of them for about a year - Wackers we called them (although the flat pull-along ones were called the same)

If that is a rally and not a car boot sale then that chap seriously needs to have a word with himself.
I remember they were always operated by Irish navvies, wearing rolled down wellies and a fag in their gob.

Already had that one.

worked on my parent's number as well (3213).
I think the ability to tap out numbers was also a reason for the emergency number being 999. Logic would seem that an emergency number should be the quickest to dial, so should have been 111. But when turning the analogue dial, it was too easy to miss-register a 1 in error, so the 9 was used where you have to register 9 taps in one go and you couldn't accidentally register 9 by accident.

Anyone dress the smallest person of the group up as the guy because (a) you were too lazy to make one and (b) to see them get a test kick from people, before they would give you money ?
