But in our house we still say can you video that for me . Meaning record on the sky box so I wonder what other people might say ?

Re: Who Remembers?
I've still got one and use it occassionally. It's a more recent one that also has a DVD player built in. Don't watch them either!
I don't have a skybox or anything that records, just the standard freeview built into the telly that has 100 channels of crap on it!

Re: Who Remembers?
It was the norm to rent I think. In this age of easy to get credit and where everything is disposable, it's just not needed I guess. Where have all the TV repair men gone?! Used to be a common sight at one time.Paul G wrote:

That's it guys - Caps! For toy guns.
You could also put them in missile type things that you drop/throw to the floor.

Re: Who Remembers?
When I look at these I have mixed feelings of excitement (P.E. was one of those easy lessons), dread (at the thought of being asked to do something you can't!) and worry (hoping I haven't forgotten my kit and have to do it in my underwear. They made you do that back then)
Our teacher used to set up an 'assault course' using the apparatus, some of it really high, bet that wouldn't be allowed now.
And why did they always turn those benches upside down and make you walk/balance on them.

Re: Who Remembers?
I remember those instruments of torture well and i did everything within my powers to avoid them. Usually ended up trampolining instead which i'm sure also would be killed off by H&S as it didn't have catch nets around it.
My school also made you do PE in underpants if you "forgot" your PE kit and you sometimes would get wacked with a plimsoll for not bringing it.
After games or PE we were all compelled to take a shower in a minging shower block with the pervy teacher watching us. In Rugby one of the teachers would join in the scrum and would conveniently accidently touch student's balls whilst in there. Times were different then.
No wonder I'm over 20 stone now and dislike excercise!
