Bobby Skidmarks Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Indeed. The 80s were all about making wee bombs in your garden from toilet toll tubes filled with sodium chlorite weed killer. Definitely frowned up for doing that these days. Nerd. There wasn't a better feeling than when your local convenience store starting selling bangers at the start of October. Luckily they didn't care you were 13 and gladly took your money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Do they still sell penny bangers? Obviously you'll have to spend more than a penny if they still do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Remember this? Was a simpler time. The chemist in our village had a rack of toys and the two I remember most was the Magic Octopus and the trick finger guillotine that you could horrify your gran with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Dodge City, it was a Scottish chain that was bought out by B&Q. Their slogan was something like "where else can you get it all" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Wars and He-Man figures for me. I remember the one at Jordanhill, that's now an Arnold Clark garage, had a moving Jolly Giant as you came in the door. Would regularly see weans bursting into tears whenever they turned it on and it started bellowing at them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
