MargieH 7,616 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Last Saturday in Cambridge, there was quite a bit of nudity.... It was the annual nude bike ride to protest against cars etc and pollution generally. There were all kinds of people from beautiful girls to old men - according to the pictures and article in the Cambridge Evening News yesterday. I wasn't there (either viewing or taking part!!) but one person said it seemed to be just a lot of old men showing off their bits.... Of course, some people were outraged as usual but it seemed harmless enough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 It seemed harmless because they were old men and posed no threat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Gulp! benj, Because the thought of old men strolling around showing their LOTS, might give the young men inferiority complexses. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Oh Dear Margie, Seeing as the link isn't on the "Things you never want to see again" thread, I twisted my arm and forced myself to have a peep. From what I can see; it must be a very cold day. lol I bet you boys don't look at what us girls looked at. What naked girl! I never saw one!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beduth 202 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I know it was daft but when we were children, if you saw a funeral cortage, to protect yourself from bad luck you had to 'Hold your collar until you saw a dog' and woe betide you if you stood on a cracked paving slab, also of course, walking under a ladder was equivalent to committing suicide.

OrphanAnnie 296 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 We always used to hold our collar 'until we saw a dog if we saw an ambulance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beduth 202 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Annie, you are absolutely correct. It's an age thing. Please forgive. I remember we had to hold something for some reasons or other. And I still have too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,616 Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Just seen this on Facebook and thought it was worth sharing even though some/most? of you were more 'sixties children' than 'seventies'. Bit of bad language but not too bad.... https://www.facebook.com/GaryShepherd1967/posts/10154434670096549 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Summer 19 Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 When we saw an ambulance we would say Touch your collar touch your nose hope we dont go in one of those,still stay it now but quietly.Still cant walk under a ladder or cross someone on the stairs without pretending to spit. Does anyone remember Colwick cheese it was delicious.I think they sold it in the old market and what about real mushy peas not the tinned type.One more item,someone mentioned Liquafruta for coughs it tasted like weedkiller smells vile stuff.One more horlicks in tablet form. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,398 Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Colwick cheese was a favourite in our house. Didn't that fall foul of EU regulations? Maybe, now, we can have it back! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I used to love those 35mm plastic film cases that came with each roll of film. I'm running low on them now - no cases with digital cameras :/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Funnily enough Compo me old mukka I used to collect them, but for a good reason............ read on. My neighbour worked in the film processing labs for Boots and she would bring me a carrier bag full about once a month. I would then use a heated metal knitting needle to punch holes in them, attach a loop of 20lb breaking strain fishing line to the top et voila swim feeder for fishing with. (And before any body says ''you don't need that many'', you never fished Radcliffe or Gunthorpe weirs! (I have to admit that with the advent of "Maxima Double Strength Line" I started to use less and less and as the supply dwindled so did my requirements ! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
