    when i was nannying 20+++ yrs ago we used to love a programme called ... ??? wizbit? and somehow paul daniels was involved! i'm wondering if it was wizadora? the song someone sang was 'haha this away, haha that away, haha this away me oh my' !

    i love(d) 'round the twist' ...australian children living in a lighthouse with mad adventures!

    and and there was some wierd puppet thing, where puppets 'sang' pop songs and there was a duck saying 'dooby dooby dooby quack quack' !!!

    then i started nannying for families with tiddlies and didn't ever watch much television!

    but from when i was little

    rentaghost i love anthony claypole!

    M & S flat mule slippers with a covered toe. I used to get a net pair every Christmas.

    I used to love Pacers - those green and white stripey chewy sweets.
    All day I've been trying to remember what pacers were called. I really liked them...which is weird cos I absolutely HATE mint! Nom noms.

    These days I just miss cheese, sob, cos my dairy allergy has gone killer on me and I can't have it anymore

    Do you remember when you could buy sweets shaped like cigarettes? LOL!

    Do they still make Monster Munch crisps? Mmmm, pickled onion flavour.

    I used to love Rentaghost (singing theme tune now). Wasn't Audrey Roberts from Corrie in it? I also used to love The Pink Windmill with Grotbags, and also Grange Hill with Tucker Jenkins, Michelle from Eastenders and Zammo.

    I have searched everywhere - think it has gone with the rules of health and safety - not for too much sugar but the shards were soooo sharp!
    Happy to be back with the Greenies

    Is that the bar of chocolate that had a different flavour in each cube of chocolate. I was trying to think of its name I thought it was made by frys and was similar to the mint one.

    Oh wow - what a fantastic thread! I remember most of the sweets and crisps mentioned. When I was at Middle School (from age 9) an ice cream van used to come and park in the playground every lunchtime and sell loads of crisps, (those bacon 'Piglets' were great!) sweets and ice cream - can you imagine that happening now lol!
