It was hardly secret given it was one of the USPs.
Not strictly, no, but if you didn't know
I'd still wear them today!

Aye I want to say 84/85 when bmx were everywhere.
About my Dads Scouts knife in the 60s?

Cremola Foam. Cans of powdered evil you spooned into a glass of water to make flavoured drinks.
What were you not sure about? Why @ me rather than quote what it is I have said that has confused you?

Reading through this thread I can relate to plenty of them, but then it got me thinking could the reason that they can't be found now be because I'm 30 and without children? I have no clue what kids play with, what they watch, what's in with kids. They could easily be playing with Yo-Yos, trading pokemon cards for all I know.
Is anyone else completely lost here, for the love of god will you please state what it is you were confused about because at the moment it just looks like you are trolling me for no reason.
Do you think that @MookJong is linking to something, because it is not. We don't know what you are talking about!

Ha ha, no you're not alone. I'm rather interested in the mystery now. As you say though, he's still not just quoting what he's asking about, so maybe he's just trolling.
Did you see the post in-between those two though? I was responding to the guy talking about Rambo knifes.
Seemingly MASSIVE 10 an 50 pence pieces. Even the 5p had some heft to it back then. Actual pound notes used to be a thing too.
Geography teachers having the confidence to administer arbitrary beatings with a hardback atlas without the remotest fear of disciplinary or legal action.
Them pink tablets they used to give you as a kid to chew before the regional dental nurse came round for a school visit.
Having to rely on searching the lay-bys on the A46 for access to soft core porn, and spending ages carefully teasing the rain soaked pages apart and hanging to dry.

As kids playing 'splits' with sheath knives in the park. yeah, people didn't used to stab each other back then.
