    A moment in time that was probably only possible for a few years.

    When we played away at St James Park we scored at the "other" end and no one had a scooby who scored so I phoned my mum to check on Ceefax.

    Must have been a 3 or 4 year window for that to be common. 
    I remember the Graham Stuart goal there and being so far away I didn't know who'd scored until after the game!

    Penny sweets at the corner shop - vividly remember as a kid standing in front of the big glass pane pointing out my 25p worth to the shop keeper "one of those please... two of them" "How much have I got left?"

    My dad sending me over to the newsagents to buy his fags and get sweets with the change.                          I was about 8 and nobody worried about it.  :D
    I hope you bought sweet cigarettes with the change!
