No drink-driving laws, and no national speed limit.
If at first you do succeed - try not to look too surprised

A video player and you couldn't put anything on top of it because the video came up out of the top!

Buying Black Jacks or Fruit Salad, getting four for a penny  - that's  a pre-decimal penny, 1d not 1p

Sven seems to be stuck in a 'mid life crisis' between the noobs like Bobbinz who embrace the now, and know nothing else, and the rest of us, who fondly remember the past as though it was yesterday, and keep seeing it reappear in things labelled as retro!!

I don't know what worries me more, the fact that I remember more than 50% of the above or the fact that stuff I fondly remember as a kid is now classed as 'retro' or 'classic'.

don't forget:

betamax, LPs and Mr Brains Faggots
