What should they bring back and why?

I think they ought to bring back:
The Snood

Why:

This fashionable accessory from the 80's with a marvelous invention. Not only did it's simple tubular, wollen design make it possible to keep your neck warm, it also provided warmth for your head and ears as you pulled it up like a hood.

The variety of colours meant you could really stand out in a crowd and you could colour co-ordinate with those lovely 80's leg warmers. :wink2:

I wish I could participate in this one but everything I miss from when I was younger is still around- only in South Africa.... :sad:

Now what is a snood???

Hubba Bubba fizzy drink!

Honey Frost lipstick by 17 @ boots

Escort Cosworths!

Cornflake tart with custard (dont know 1 single pub that still does this as a pudding)

Beverly Hills 90210

The clangers.

I'VE GOT A SNOOD!!! Its really fuffly scard that stretches so far you could wear it as a boob tube dress (there's another), never warn it as a snood yet, but I will if it snows.

Cat I love you....you are my new hero....sorry Scooby but you have no Snood..... :wub:

Bring back:

Moondust

Why:

Because it was fun! It hurt like hell as it fizzed and popped on your tongue but you couldn't help going back for more!

Moondust used to make my glands pop.

Space ships....made out of two confessional wafers stuck together and filled with sherbert.

Bring Back:

Dib Dabs and Sherbert Dips

Why:

Because even if you didn't like the horrid sweet thing they put on the dib dab paddle or the liquorice stick in the sherbert dip...the sherbert was yummy! :wub:

Palm Violets
Edible necklace on a peice of elastic
Milk Teeth

oooh and who could forget Clackers!!!!!!

Claire - a snood is something you never ever in a million years want to be seen in. As Coastie so rightly, but very misguidedly, described, it is a woollen tube, that fits over ones head, in a large polo necked fashion, and then the worst is to come. It can pull up over ones head in a 'hat' sort of way - to protect ones ears from the bitter British weather, it is not a nice article!

Perish the thought of the return of the snood.:glare:

oooh and who could forget Clackers!!!!!!
If they brought back clackers I would be the first in the history of mankind to buy the whole lot!!! I was so peed off with my mother as a child - she would never ever let me or my sis to play with/buy/be given as pressies - clackers and I SO LOVED THEM!!!

Tiddles got some from a child's party - but they weren't real ones - just pretendy - and so utterley disappointing.

I WANT THE RETURN OF CLACKERS!!!

Spacedust - I used to put it on the dog's tongue..


..until he bit me.

Hehe, all of these I can get from my corner shop:devil:

ME TOO...but they have to be the big solid balls - usually red - and the longer string so when in full deafening clack you could kill a grown man at five paces.

Is this why they were banned?

My big brother kicked it up in the air and it landed in a neighbours garden three doors down from us and bounced around for ages braking plant pots and flattening flowers all over the place

our footballs where always going in there garden and they where always

Complaining about that
