That description as used by Sam on Emmerdale last night referring to Mandy

That rings a bell. I think that was it. Strange name now I come to think of it. What was it meant to signify?

So did I. It was my go to shop for clothes in th mid to late 60s. They had a section that was aimed at young women's fashion. I can't remember the name of the label. The other shop that was an affordable favourite was Dorothy Perkins.

His name is Richie Anderson, formerly with BBC WM 95.6. He is great to hear, particularly when he talks about BUZZES. His accent really comes to the fore when he is talking about any of the west midland area

my husband said that phenolphthalein is a strong laxative. Some interesting times when he was at school!

My husband isn't a member but is really enjoying this thread. It is bringing back many memories and leading to discussions about the chemicals that were accessible in the past. (He is a retired science teacher)

it was fun at times, particularly when the latest toys came out. I worked for part of the time at the stationery department at the front of the shop. I do remember the 1966 World Cup Willy and the gold James Bond Aston Martin with the ejector seat. We used to demonstrate the toys to customers...

My first job was as a Saturday girl in a small hairdressers on Jockey Rd Wylde Green. I got 10 shillings working 9-6. Washing hair,taking out rollers, sweeping up, .among tea etc. This was 1965 I was 14. When I was 15 I worked at Gills toy shop on the Parade in Sutton. I got about £1-10...

My closest friend was a teacher at Gunter Road in the early 70's her name was Jeannette Guy. I am sure she would love to know if anyone remembers her.

I went to Cardinal Wiseman from 1962-4 Was there a Mr Boland or Bolan, music teacher? I was Carol Davies when I was there.

Thank you. Carolann

Thank you for the photograph. They were a bit more basic when we lived there. Entered through front door into a living room. Kitchen through from that, with a bath in it, covered by a board to use as a work surface. Through the back door to an outside toilet, one of 4 in a block. Small garden...

I lived in 3 Driffold Cottages in 1963 for a few years. My parents rented it for a couple of years. I don't know who the landlord was. They must have a really interesting history. I think they were all sold together and converted in later years.

Was there a Dodds Iron mongers in Sutton? I have a vague memory of my Dad having a job at Dodds in the 60s

Great to see a photograph of my old college. I was there 1967 until 1969.
