This is a brilliant thread, remembering so many of these things. the desks with inkwells oh definitely though thankfully never old enough to use the inkwells.

So here's another ...do you remember, Daytime TV with Open University programmes on BBC2 with skinny old before their time men wearing brown jackets with elbow patches?

He skillfully weaved his way through the buildings missing some by inches then got to a point where those black bollard things got in the way..he got out of the pick up,looked around at the options, shrugged,got back in,and proceeded to nudge the bollard over so he could get past...
