I do remember it was 'user friendly' as it didn't pong so bad. Once swimming in the River Avon in Salisbury I grabbed what I thought was a white log. Indeed it was a log of sorts. [GRIN][/GRIN]

 

My sister did something similar, she'd been on the playing fields and found what she thought was a white sponge :blink: , so, naturally, she gave it a squeeze...

Calculator digital watches...all the geeky boys had em at school, the cool dudes like me had ones with games on or a really annoying alarm that resulted in having it confiscated.

 

CB radios, where council houses grew antennas, had to have one taller than ya neighbours one (early answer to internety chat room where you would chat up some girl who sounded really nice...and shed end up being really ugly with thick glasses, a brace and bad b.o.

Trimphones, the early ones had dials (great for old people who suffered from arthritus) then they put buttons on them, you couldn't use phones that were not approved by GPO Telecommunications, so basically only GPO phones were an option. pleep pleep

Your sister was probably 3 years old whereas I was about 13. Was she of the same opinion that Milky Bar dog poo didn't smell half as bad as the Cadburys Bournville variety?:)

Yeah, she was 3. I'd only have been 6 at the time myself so I can't remember all the details, but I think she had the sense not to sniff it.:p
