Not in baskets but in wooden boxes. They pass every Friday night outside our house, on their way down to the local pub at 7.40/45 ish in the summer. Perhaps they even pass in the winter but i wouldn't know,as i have the curtains shut!

Ford Cortinas and other old cars with odd coloured bonnets etc and blokes wearing those workman jackets which had the raised plastic/leather like bit on the back which extended to their shoulders and was sometimes orange or some other relevant colour.

Moving from the '70s and '80s to..... Well, 12 years ago....... THE MILLENNIUM BUG!!

Blokes at the Swimming pool in Speedos who then were nude in the shared showers, regardless of who was there.

I gleaned a lot of my early anatomical education off watching those guys as a kid.

The Corona Man, in his yellow van coming around every friday morning with pop and cordial.
Haven't seen a village bobby in heaven only knows how long. We see one dash through the village in his police car about once a week, probably going to visit an aunt or something though.

Was gonna say the - the Corona lorry that comae round on Friday evening.

Also bobbies that are not kitted out in flak jackets and assualt gear.

Also Raeligh Choppers or Peeny farthings or kid on roller skates - qand I don't mean the in line wheeled roller blades.
