What "thing" from when you started, would be out of place now.

[Andy in Germany]

It's in the name.

I grew up for eight years in Knutsford.

Of course, that may prove your point.

I lived there, Garden Road. Victorian terrace house. Renovated it myself, lived in a building site for several years so the company could move me before we could enjoy it. Late 70's early '80s.

My Parents moved to Knutsford, nice town especially once I'd found The Lord Eldon pub (good local) Dad is buried in the churchyard there and Mum moved to Holmes Chapel (downsized from the big house on Queensway as the stairs and large garden were getting a bit much for her)

Then you probably left around the same time as I moved into the town.

Woollen, ribbed, tights, with an outer panel

Ah yes, I had some of these. 'Ribbed for my pleasure' taunted my guffawing friends.

Woollen, ribbed, tights, with an outer panel

Or, going back to my parka-wearing winter paper round days - my sister's tights. under my trousers.

Did your sister know?

And to think parents used to say things like "make sure you wear clean underpants in case you have an accident!"

I would point out that the tights in question were decommissioned thick winter tights with big holes in that I had commandeered for the purpose.

The holes were for what purpose?

You demanded your sister hand over her tights?

 

[wakemalcolm]

The holes were for what purpose?

One to do peeing and one to Dumoulin

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Metal rod rim brakes and solid tyres in white. Plus bike would be out of place because I have grown a lot since I was a wee toddler.

 

[VinSumRox]

One to do peeing and one to Dumoulin

Assuming they were in the right places

 

[Mrs M]

The never-ready light set.
The headlight would just about light up a couple of yards of road
