Name one thing from your childhood

[Hooked]

North east of England, Sunderland and Newcastle

The Stadium of light is built on the top of a coal mine.

And that is where you were raised @Stranger?

 

[Stranger]

Raised would be a bit optimistic, but I did grow up there and met my wife of 42 years there, so no regrets.

This pic may seem strange, but is in fact when Sunderland won the FA cup in 1973. The fans carried the Leeds coffin onto the pitch, the fans stormed the pitch and kicked it to bits.

What a piece of history. I was 12 when this happened and I knew then ....... get me the **** out of here.

We've just gone through yet another change in mains plugs in SA, similar in layout to those 60's ones but for wall sockets.

Ohhhh thank you sooooo much @Intuthu Kagesi! Actually I'd never googled it because I didn't know what it was called until @Stew mentioned it. So thanks to you too @Stew! Guess it's time to go shopping!

I checked with my wife and they were used here as well. We had them in a few shops in the old Rhodesia.
Pneumatic cash transfer machine. So the assistant on the shop floor didn't handle the money side of the purchase / payment.

That’s a whole lot of yes. Military tan polish on Stewels, bruin, though? Kiwi dark brown only.

When I was growing up my Gran and Grandpa had one of these. An old "Old Bush Valve Radiogram with turntable" They had an LP I listened to when very small with the Nursery Rhyme Goosey Goosey Gander.
