Yes, profitable days for schoolboy Bold in the early 70s. We're you anything like the wee c**t in Montrose who would take your pound coin, hand you the paper and then promptly f**k off without offering any change? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not. All businesses depend on customer satisfaction and recurring trade. And there were no pound coins then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 The crowding-round-the-Radio-Rentals-window thing reminded me of being dragged out to a local shopping centre on a Saturday afternoon during the European Championships when I was a kid. I noticed the electronics section in a department store had Eire v Holland on one of the TVs, so abandoned my mum to set up camp in front of the game. It must have been a decent match, as I didn't notice until the Dutch scored at the end that I'd been joined by dozens of men who'd presumably escaped from/been parked in front of the football by their wives 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst White Lightning was a fine choice for the young jakey, it was only 7.5% whereas real men drank the paint stripper heavyweight that was Electric White which came in at a staggering 9.5%. Was like drinking out of date apple juice laced with poison. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Raccoon Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I actually picked up a bottle of Electric White and took it as my carry out to a party many years ago, it was only when I took the first sip I realised it was undrinkable so had to find something to dilute it with. No blackcurrant at the party so ended up drinking Electric White and Kia-ora. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was another favourite, £1 a litre, could afford to buy two bottles and 10 Regal with my £5 pocket money and still have enough for a packet of Monster Munch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never heard of Kestrel until a mate turned up at a party with a ten pack, he ended up putting people in wrestling moves then was sick all over himself. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
