Christ on a bike I remember all those. I bet that Astro Wars game is worth a bob or two. I got that when it came out and it was cutting edge. Now it's like something from medieval times.

Never mind half new pence I remember a farthing (quarter old pence).
Still got a double cassette desk which gets used occasionally (although one side no longer works ).
16k Speccy, cost me �ã125 in 1982 (apparently that's about �ã400 in today's money :-?); Hungry Horace, cheap c15? cassettes, learn to program in Basic.

I can remember quite a few of them. Only had a wimpy once on a trip over to England in the 90's.

WOW!
Remember them? They are all "New Innovations". :whistle:
Even that soccer ball was one of the "new" lightweight ones!
The ones I started playing with could leave "lace marks" on your forehead that lasted well into the following week!
It was also essential to treat them with Dubbin ... :thumb:
... because when they got soaking wet they weighed enough to rip a knee apart after one goal-kick! :whistle:

Being 29 and from 'Ull originally my mam user to drag me around the centre shopping and one of those weird childhood memories is a rainbow sign.

I would venture a guess and say wimpy is still bigger than mcdonalds in south africa.
Many of Engine fuel stations has a wimpy inside and are open 24/7
They are known for their anti-hangover breakfasts. Greasy eggs and bacon, some sausages or a steak.
After a night of heavy drinking you sip some cream soda and eat a wimpy breakfast.
I grew up with all of those items.
It's a picture I saw on Twitter feel free to add pictures of your favourite sweets etc to the thread.

The sad thing is I remember when the pictured Toffo sweets used to be called Toff - O Luxe.
Spangles acid drops were always my favourite, the precursor to my later love of anything sour such as vinegar, lemon, and more recently grapefruit IPas
