Hearing Coronation Street music always reminds me of sitting with my gran and watching it in black and white. Is there anything still going now that takes you back?

cazzz - talking of Play Away, I've got an uncle Brian who we never saw. (Still don't really!) Because I knew only one Brian - Brian Cant from Play Away - I was convinced he was my uncle. Years later, when I saw my REAL uncle, I was traumatised, totally shattered!!

Wrights coal tar soap
The football results on the TV on Saturday afternoon- my Grandad checking of his pools coupon.
The smell of privet flowers (used to have a den in a privet hedge)
Smell of a bonfire (no one seems to have bonfires any more and when I was a child everyone seemed to have them come October)
The Archers - grandparents again

Vosene was new and improved a few years ago - the active ingredient gives folk an itchy scalp.

pirate was the perfume 4711?

Cazz born in the mid sixties? we watched the same stuff.

Wrights coal tar soap, Corrie, The Rockford files ... the first programme on our COLOURED tv was Cannon, we then got hooked on Petrocelli. The opening note of Hill street Blues and I still think lets be careful out there!

Solid toilet block always make me think of me Grannies Main Street flat in small town Scotland. Oh for the days when Quality Street were our Christmas Treat, and a packet of Candy ciggies each if we were lucky.

I loved bonfire parties when i was young, the smell of a bonfire brings me straight back to when I was young, especially if abba are playing as well!

[cazzz1975]

I was born in 75, I remember watching all that stuff
