Name one thing from your childhood

We all rushed to CNA month end to lay our grubby little paws on a copy of Smash Hits magazine all the way from the UK
to see what was hot or not in the 80's.

If you had a bicycle , this was the ultimate luxury...

The light were hollow inside and all your childhood valuables were stashed there

I still have one of those irons for a doorstop, unfortunately the Aga coal stove was left when me moved, and we were never allowed to go back and fetch it when we were evicted by family.
 
@ARYANTO, Yes, my Mom had one too. Those were elegant days, weren't they? Drinking tea out of a realy teacup, with a delicate little biscuit on a delicate little plate on the side.
You are so right @Hooked , and @ARYANTO for bringing back some memories of my Gran and afternoon tea and biscuits or coffee with condensed milk and “soetkoekies” both served on the trolley. It just seemed to taste better in that way.

I also have to own up that I’ve turned into a Neanderthal as it’s usually a mug now with a rusk balanced on the edge though.:D Give me a cup now and I don’t know what to do with the saucer!
 
A_Which radio station did you listen to.jpg

As a teenage it was LM Radio for the music.

And of course Springbok for:
  • The Men from the Ministry
  • The Creaking Door
  • Squad Cars
  • Forces Favourites
Which other programmes were on at that time?
 
Used to go skating every friday and Saturday night at Zanandi and when the extended mix of Man 2 Man - Male Stripper came up some of us changed our wheels on the skates with the speed bearings for more speed

And who went to the Carlton Centre ice rink ? (JHB CBD)
Must have been around the late eighties
Loved it when they dimmed the lights and played good music
Had my own skates and thought I was quite a good skater at the time. Lol
