Daff, I remember wearing a dress in primary school that had bat wings. just didn't realise it till now. I loved that dress. Wore it till it fell off me. :-)

Hayley, So you've never been back? Once was enough?
xx

I made a mistake...just realised what you mean by bat wings. That dress was different altogether. It was 70's style. Now i understand..I'm a bit slow tonight.

lol at you two... I was married, but not allowed into a pub.... I went to my first nightclub when I was 29, lol.... and was asked to prove my age, .... my older son was in senior school!! I pointed to my mum, and said... that's my mum, she'll tell you how old I am.... and he didn't believe she was old enough to be in there either, lol... It was quite dark, and my mother remembers that very fondly... it was my future SiL's hen night.... there is sooooo much more to tell... Oh What a Night!!

Malc, this songs for you

Wish I had a grey Cortina
Whiplash aerial, racing trim
Cortina owner - no one meaner
Wish that I could be like him

Twin exhaust and rusty bumper
Chewing gum at traffic light
Stop at red but leave on amber
Grey Cortina outa sight

Wish I had a grey Cortina
Whiplash aerial, racing trim
Cortina owner - no one meaner
Wish that I could be like him

Furlined seats and lettered windscreen
Elbow on the windowsill
Eight track blazing Brucie Springsteen
Bomber jacket, dressed to kill

Wish I had a grey Cortina
Whiplash aerial, racing trim
Cortina owner - no one meaner
Wish that I could be like him

Never cop a parking ticket
Never seem to show its age
Speed police too slow to nick it
Grey Cortina got it made


Wish I had a grey Cortina
Whiplash aerial, racing trim
Cortina owner - no one meaner
Wish that I could be like him

My Dad had an Orange Mark 3 and prior to that a turquoise Hillman Avenger which went like s*** off a shovel. Turned out the previous owner had suped the engine (shoved a 1500 into a 1400 compartment) The tappits went and the camshaft bent.
