In Kilmarnock, we had "Food Giant": It was cheap as chips and their standard (free in those days) carrier bag was as strong as steel. Was a bit of a smelly place to do a shop, but sold this at around 10p a bottle if I remember right: ASDA moved into the town which pretty much sealed Food Giant's fate. Strange really, as ASDA was about 25% more expensive, although they had a much better selection of groceries, with the added 'enticement' of their clothing and home range. Maybe reflective of less austere times in the town. Food Giant might actually be successful if they relaunched now, but they'd be competing against Aldi and Lidl. Anyone else have a Food Giant? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stunts, the bumps, the bruises and good times. Was like that when first bought but added loadsa cool stuff like that laid back seat post that broke and shredded my brothers rear end and nutsack. You can see in the pic how and why his nut sack got sucked into the space between the tyre and brake. Mine had yellow plastic spokes, you must've had the posh version. Remember a few mates that had hand me down grifters which weighed a ton and usually had broken gears. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8MileBU Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 God, Hale and Pace were fucking shite. They were brilliant at the time. Sunday nights were great back then for 11 year old me. Londons Burning, Spitting Image, Hale & Pace then telt to get the telly off cos I had school in the morning.The Billy & Johnny sketches weren't Hale & Pace's best work to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Caravan Holiday in Ayr 1981, spent hours trying to get to Space Warrior level on this. Whilst it was throwing it down outside. That was my favourite back in the day. Better than Galaxians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Food Giant. In Stirling we had a Gateway and Tesco. I also remember some shit Freezer shops, Bejam and Capital. Not sure where they were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bike of mine weighed in at less than 10 pounds and you could lift it with a pinky. Yeah I also got hand me down Grifters as well before getting that bad boy Burner. The trouble with Grifters though when jumping off ramps is that the frame could at any second snap into two parts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
