🇬🇧 On our estate there was one lad who always turned up on the green in his football kit............ why he never had the socks to match I don't know, but I do know he was always the last one to get picked for a side, not because he wore glasses, but because he NEVER passed the bloody ball!

To be honest I never really biked TO work. It was a long, uphill trek to the factory so I walked and pushed the bike.
Why did I even bother with the bike? Well, when the whistle blew at five o'clock in the afternoon I jumped on me bike and whizzed downhill and was home in ten minutes sitting at the kitchen table waiting for the kettle to boil. Good times 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It might just be me but as I recall nearly all of these cars had fog lamps put on them..............even if they never worked. Must just have been a 70s thing I suppose.

🇬🇧 I know I'm old because I remember dad's first car having these pop out glowing bright orange. Us kds in the back used to try and grab them before they popped back in. It drove dad nuts! Good times 🇬🇧
