Who Remembers?

[pbar]

Who remembers these!

[andyd]

[Fordoholic Nick]

Me too Paul

Me and the missus were just saying its a shame they stop using these mate. Great little "device"....a bit like the ring pulls on fizzy drink cans !

I'm guessing at 29 1/2 years old I'm too young to get this???


What is it???

Very true Nick, much better than the useless modern replacement.

[Caprifan Rob]

What is it???

It's a wrapper clip to keep your bread fresh

[Fordoholic Nick]

It's a wrapper clip to keep your bread fresh

Here endith the mystery

And as Paul said the replacement is useless...a bit of bleedin tape ! This plastic device was a brilliant way to "re-seal" your loaf of Hovis (or similar ) to keep it nice and fresh. Obviously a shite bit of tape is cheaper to use and no sharp edges

They sure don't make TV shows like this anymore, they wouldn't, and couldn't! Watching old shows like this, smoke filled rooms, everyone downing beer, and saying whatever they want to without fear of media repercussions, if only we could turn it around and become so carefree again instead of so PC, uptight, and rule stricken!

Everyone is looking to be offended nowadays What happened to GREAT Britain

Bloody good times, long gone now unfortunately. I feel very lucky to have lived in that era.

That's so true isn't it Andy. It is almost like people are seeking it out, so they can then cause a reaction to it.

Great thing to say Martin Most would certainly agree.

Better Music, Better Cars and Better Haircuts Not perfect days for everyone, but certainly people seemed happier

Less technology too which is the problem today IMO....Everyone walking around looking at little screens
Especially Teenagers, no one else matters except themselves or the crowd they are in......Respect is long gone....Innit

Think you've hit the nail on the head there unfortunately.

What's worse than people who look for things to be offended by, are the nobheads that choose to be offended on other people's behalf!
On the bread clip front, we used to collect them and clip them onto the spokes of our Grifters......
