What can instantly take your mind back years.

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?

[B00]

The smell of Vosene and Vick's Vapour rub.

oh bum- did you mean tv programmes? Oh in that case.....errr possibly antiques roadshow and last of the summer wine.

The smell of mint toffees reminds me of just one particular cupboard in my grandmother's kitchen. One sniff and I'm instantly standing in front of it, 35 years or so ago.

Also, Lucozade - same grandmother, same kitchen!!

No anything thats still going Boo!!! VOSENE!! I must rush out and but some. That will definately take me back to asking my mum to drown me (I loved a bowl of water being pored over my shampood head!).

if i hear 'hi ho silver lining' I am transported back to Northallerton High street and the May Fair, with the noise and the smell of the generators. I think they only had one record (not tape or CD!!!) 'cos the tune would follow me the length of the street.
I was young and fairs were exciting ....hi ho!!

[Pirate1]

buy some even!!

theme tune to bullseye reminds me of sunday evenings and the prospect of school the next day

Songs like this remind me of my first school dance when I was about thirteen. (1958)

I wore short trousers and the girls would not dance with me. Took ages to persuade parents to get me long trousers. Louis's Manchester.
Probably why I grew up grumpy.

true love ways

Hi Sky, now you are talking.

One of my heroes. Charles Hardin Holley, born Lubbock Texas 1936.

His name was spelt wrong on his first contract so he stuck with " Holly" Interesting eh?

Saw Buddy in manchester a few years ago Great. Cant think on many singers to-day who will last as long. Just think, he died 18 months after his first hit, Inbloodycredible.

Hi Doc, after I posted that , I remembered going out with a teddy boy. Not an original one, someone that just really liked that era, he use to turn up on a motorbike with the hair brylcreamed back! He was a fantastic dancer, he could stop everything on the dancefloor, trouble was, he knew it! I would just sit and watch him, he was really good, but he loved the adoration lol!!!!! Never knew that about Buddys real name!

the smell of dettol reminds me of school, Im with you on that bob, bullseye n school, other sunday school reminders for me are tales of the unexpected and the south bank show brrrrr!!

hearing "one day in your life"by michael jackson reminds me of when I was a kid, I was off school with a cold when it was playing on the radio.

only when I laugh, the good life,sorry, sapphire and steele (love that show!) the benny hill show, duty free, doctor who(tom baker) worzel gummage, supergran (brrrggh!!), dear john, the fall guy, chips (used to be on sundays), university challenge (boring crud on sunday afternoons)

[skyep]

cazz - ' One day in your life ' That track reminds me of when I worked as a passer at a sewing machine place, not popular with the machinists! I had a terrible time there, particularly with one woman who had it in for me. That track use to float round the place from the radio.

[cazzz1975]

that jackson has a lot to answer for!!!!


:)

I remember allowed to stay up and watch the Liver Birds. I thought they were really cool, witty and sophisticated.

Cazzz, you've got a really good list there! I'd forgotten about Saphire and Steel!
