C'mon fess up. That's your bike isn't it ?

No, that's just a random photo from a search. I seem to remember my bike was called something like "Pavemaster" and it had a working brake light.

No - they steal motorbikes to sound like motorbikes, and then ride them round the local park!

Speaking of weapons, how about Spud Guns? Fabulous fun.

Edit: They don't make cheap aluminium alloy die-castings like that anymore.

Cans of Lucozade. Its all plastic bottles now.

Cans?

We had clear glass bottles for Lucozade and to colour the bottle it was wrapped in a yellow film. It was just a drink you had when you were ill. And you got 1/2d back when you returned the bottle. I still only drink it when ill not in conjunction with sport.
