    Reading another thread about burning the clutch when reversing reminded me of the time when if you needed to reverse the van you had to get out and fiddle with a lever thingy to disengage the overrun braking system.

    You didn't need a mortgage to buy a 4 oz (100gm or do you mind if its a bit over) of Violet Cream chocolates and Black Jacks and Fruit Salads were 4 a penny.

    It was all very polite ABM but us girls had to wait for a boy to walk across and ask for a dance, you never knew who that might be and as it was school you couldn't refuse...probably not much fun for the boys either..Frown

    Oh, that brings back memories... For me it was junior school and country dancing. One boy had a crush on me so every session he would race across the hall and grab my hand, it was so embarrassing! And he his nose ran constantly so I couldn't look at him,
    but I never wanted to hurt his feelings (or touch his hands). Excruciating Embarassed
