Tizwas kid or Swapshop kid?

[mudsticks]

Neither, we didn't have a telly ..

And anyway - I was too busy - out playing in the street, with my hoop and stick..

I see some resemblance!

Oh how I would have liked to have Greta's verve and determination at that age..

Doing a bit of nature worship, and wild side exploration here.

Probably just pre Tis Was..

Obligatory 70's hand knit, and home cut hair..

Thinking about it..
No so much has changed really

We were Swapshop kids, I remember when it came to Abington park in Northampton, it was crazy, 1000’s of kids

If it was raining then I was definitely a TISWAS kid. There was something about Sally James in her leather waistcoat that
did for me.

I was too 'old' to want to watch either. My Saturday morning children's tv was The Banana Splits and Zocko.

I can't believe it, I was just about to post that picture in the mental image thread. 😂

Swapshop. My parents wouldn’t let me watch ITV.

About whom?

About whom?

It's the exact picture that I had of @mudsticks i wonder if it's from her family album? 😊

 

[cookiemonster]

Tiswas.

I've still got that stick somewhere.

So best not mess ..

Tiswas, obviously, a reflection of my preference in the Magpie/Blue Peter dichotomy, where I favoured the corvid-themed televisual presentation

Which is a long winded way of saying he fancied Jenny Hanley, which a lot of us did at the time.

Tiswas, by a mile. Who could forget the pinnacle of children’s television - Bob Blackman singing Mule Train?

It wouldn’t be allowed today, concern that children might suffer head injuries emulating the master of the tea tray whiplash.
