Pans People & Legs & Co.?
Then there was Chorlton and the Wheelies, now that was class, with Fennela the bad tempered Welsh witch that lived in a kettle. "Oh, Ffestiniog!".
But of course the Magic roundabout is a real classic ( )
( mild swearie & and subtle one )
"Weeeeeeeeeeed"Bill and Ben taught me bad behaviours from a very young age.
I'm not surprised TBHThat was supposed to be the 'B' side of Funky Moped but it became the hit
"Oh... drat you dragon! Now I'm 'avin one of my 'edaches!".Yes! "'Ello, little ol' lady".

Just the name/logo are the same, bought by a web shop in 2012.Tandy
I still have a Realistic MW LW FM 'transistor' radio that used to belong to my great auntie (I took her to Tandy and helped her choose a new radio after her old one broke). It still works fine and comes in handy when I'm working in the garden shed and want the football results. It's outlasted auntie Mabel by over quarter of a century, and will probably outlast me too!Just the name/logo are the same, bought by a web shop in 2012.
Nothing to do any more with the folks who gave us the TRS-80.
Well, I can say with a little authority (although I've always been Nod rather than Noddy!) that she isn't - she was my paternal Grandmother.
Ok explanation please, what/who are you talking about ?
Have I missed something ?
I've still got a Realistic DX-394 I picked up cheap when they were closing down.I still have a Realistic MW LW FM 'transistor' radio...
No but I'm still using the own brand multimeter and sound meter that I bought from them in the early 1990s.Remember the diskette club?
They included a card in their FDD 10-packs that entitled you to one discounted 3-pack of disks every month. They also had a battery club that entitled you to one free red zinc-carbon battery (AAA/AA/C/D/PP3) every month using the page in the Tandy diary.No but I'm still using the own brand multimeter and sound meter that I bought from them in the early 1990s.
I believe you can still get them, possibly a different name now. I think there is now also something similar you can get for tracing odd shapes onto tiles.Anyone remember these?

They also had a little comic strip advert of a weedy bloke on a beach having sand kicked in his face. Cue the Bullworker and next time on the beach he was surrounded by young ladies.How about the Bullworker?

I thought they were called "train surfers"?(it's also the name of the gizmo on the top of electric trains that picks up the juice from the overhead line)
No, they are more likely to be on juice.I thought they were called "train surfers"?
Still in the garage!How about the Bullworker?

I wonder how many kids thought Chorlton was really brave to talk to Fenella like that... and didn't realise that it was because he was just too thick and stupid to recognise that she was an evil, bad-tempered and highly dangerous witch!One of my favourites as a kid "hello little old lady". Jamie And His Magic Torch was another.
I used to do that on the 63 going from camden to holloway county school. Never actually fell off , but close. With my duffle bag full of books.Real nostalgia trip today. Came across this Routemaster at a car show and it brought back memories of chasing after the 19 at Finsbury Park and swinging aboard as the bus accelerated. Not possible with modern buses nor my aging lungs...
