We might have to or we may have to sell them into slavery if you posh Tories southerners have your way.

Haha, white dog poo. Some kids used to use it to chalk out the hopscotch grid on the pavement.

Bemused as to why your leg would be near the gas mantle? They were high up on the wall.

No, it just went bang and glass went everywhere. I was bare legged at the time! :(

No, no, no, not my friends. I was rubbish at hopscotch. Preferred skipping with a washing line across the road. Hardly ever had to lower it to allow cars to pass.

Scanichic, I know you said maths ain't your strongest subject elsewhere on forum, but do you mean this for @Andy12345 ?

Still would be grounds for excommunication in my eyes. My dad voted for Cameron with a small "c" in the last election and I nearly disowned him. I have warned my kids that if they ever vote Tory we will disinherit them!!!!!

Exactly! And to think the buffoons are putting me in a maths class next year! Those kids must have been really bad in a previous life! :D
 
Someone mentioned KFC.
That flaming wrap gets me every time but ..I now know after much experimentation how to make them ... ok after half an hour pissing about.
Piri piri sauce and cheap cheese slices ... those square things in individual wraps yeah .... there goes the trade secret!
 
What is it with KFC?! I just don't get it! The chips are horrible and the chicken I can take or leave. I like the occasional fillet of fish from McDonald's but if ever they give you one which has been made a while it goes hard round the edges and tastes.... Not nice! I like McDonald's egg mcmuffins with a hash brown but it doesn't really go on my miss list. Cake does though :D

Just never got it! My sins were chocolate, cake, biscuits, white wine and lots of pasta and bread. Just the thought of those foods makes me drool but my body doesn't like them so clothes will have to become my new vice :D
I grew up in the 70s and 80s so retro for me: ABBA, starsky and hutch, caravan hols in Scotland and the lakes, bag puss, tv not starting till 11, the pop man, playing out for hours, riding on the parcel rack of my dads MGB with the dog, Charlie's angels. I always wanted to be Sabrina and my mum took me to the market to buy an all in one red cat suit with a Charlie's angels badge on the top pocket. It was made out of nylon but I loved it. I was once rude to my mum and not allowed to watch it on the TV! I was psychologically scarred! Lol!
 
My sins were crisps, chocolate and fizzy drinks.....and yeh all alcohol too.
