Having a first name of Colin, Clive, Barry, Wayne .....

Missing arctic roll and findus crispy pancakes

Thinking Blue Nun was a sophisticated wine in your youth

Remembering the first 100k transfer in football

I was only explaining at work today that my junior season ticket at Ladywell Baths in 1970 was 12s 6d, then had to convert it to 62 and a half pence for it to make sense to the younger people.

Co-op dividend number - I always remember my mum's because when she sent me to get the shopping she'd say 'Bobby don't forget the divi number when the man asks you'

My old Dad would never drink mild, reckoned it was all the regurgitated slops. He drank light and bitter (always got more than a half of bitter) and if the light ale went in first, he wouldn't accept it

Director's Bitter came out when I was about 18 - it was the beginning of my love for real ale and I still enjoy a new, untried brew with eager anticipation to this day, given the opportunity. Used to love Fuller's ESB.
