I remember it too. I used to think the sun bleached them but then someone told me it was the diet of dogs laying those ivory logs. I'm happy not knowing though lol.

I did a white poo once. That is how the doctors were able to diagnose my abdominal pains as gallstones. They block the bile duct meaning that no bile (and particularly dead red blood cells) enter the gastro-enteral system.

So did lots of dogs in the 80s have gallstones?

Both were awesome!

Dairy Milk. Well British Dairy Milk anyway. Not this new American version we now have with less flavour and cheaper ingredients. I now only buy Galaxy.

Grot caches in the bushes of public parks.

Village pubs that had lock-ins.

I think the white dog egg thing was caused by dogs being fed essentially crushed up bone instead of anything remotely resembling food.

something daft already!! · 16 Mar 2016 at 20:54

Yes, I too recall something about the food being pretty poor. Also now it's no longer legal to leave dog's mess in the street so generally owners now clean it up. This means it's not left to ferment for any period of time. Perhaps the whiteness was a result of being bleached by the sun or exposure to the air and drying out. Not that I have given this much thought.

But dogs don't lay eggs of any colour.

Friday nights at the pub getting really drunk and trying to ~~knob~~ pull the girls from the lower sixth form

Friday nights trying to score a bit of resin from the dodgy pub up the road

Friday nights finishing up at the pub and then going for a smoke in some remote woodlands and scaring ourselves witless

I DO NOT LAMENT WORKING IN A BAKERY AND HAVING TO START WORK AT 5AM ON A SATURDAY AFTER ALL OF THE ABOVE!

Saturday nights being driven around the lanes of somerset, dorset and wiltshire, in the back of my mates bedford van that stank of sheep, looking for raves.

I DO NOT LAMENT WORKING IN A BAKERY AND HAVING TO START WORK AT 5AM ON A SUNDAY AFTER THE ABOVE!

All of that and my mate I used to do it with who died a little while ago.

Yeah well that's a view shared by the CT community. I remember that Nick Bloomfield documentary which explored that view and drew a blank.

Have you seen Soaked in Bleach? There's no way anyone could watch that and not think something dodgy went on. I guess we'll never know.
