the_big_fact_hunt 9 Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 its been in a cupboard for years, dont think it was ever bothered about after it first came out, you can save things like this for years, but to me they are just clutter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poohbear 1,360 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Man landed on the moon...I bought every daily paper including the Morning Star...rolled 'em up in brown paper and sellotape and put 'em in the loft.20 years later on leaving home I went up there....gone.The old lady had been passed them by a plumber and "Just being a load of old papers" they finished up in the bin.Hundreds of old family photos went the same way.Including dozens of old Nottingham. Ruddy women just can't keep their damned hands off anything they can chuck into landfill. Memories of your childhood??....Not if a female has anything to do with it.

Mothers eh!! Incedentally I had a copy of that pub fun book Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carltongal 101 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 These old mags of ours are collecters items now we even have some old superman and Batman comics the US versions in strip format wonder what they are worth now, i wouldnt really bin them but we are running out of space my box room is full Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Max 1 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 i wouldnt really bin them but we are running out of space my box room is full There’re two ways to empty a box room either move to a smaller holding were is you’re forced by diminished dimensions to thin out your junk or move to a property with larger box room !!

carltongal 101 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Maybe i should buy the house next door as it will be for sale soon then i can put all the collectables in there, plus our music collection (LPs) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Max 1 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Maybe i should buy the house next door as it will be for sale soon then i can put all the collectables in there, plus our music collection (LPs) Sounds perfectly respectable but wouldn’t a shed from the shed fixer man be more cost effective? !!

poohbear 1,360 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Dead right there is...made me flaming mad losing memories...school books and art work included. Why my old lady had to chuck things away for no reason I don't know.She was born extremely poor so I would have been inclined to hoard.Childhood memories can't be replaced,My Brother left home early and has kept all his stuff over the years...school books,stamp collection,Ian Allen trainspotting books etc....Me,nothing. And the spelling is counsellor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
