Rosi I remember monkey boots - I had some! Wore them with my denim waistcoat and jeans and a denim dress/coat - thought I looked great! I also had the 'pixie cut' which was almost a skinhead style wise! Even more chuffed when I had an Harrington jacket, a Crombie and Ben Sherman shirts! Those were the days..... Debby

Yes Dee, I remember sporks and those funny plate things. I never had any, just those friends who thought they were a bit upmarket. No offence meant to anyone who has them!!! Suex

Sporks? Talk earlier of when forks were first used got me thinking of Sporks They were a kind of fork/spoon invented no doubt for buffets. Remember the days of a tray that you could put a plate and glass on and hold in one hand, and then eat using your spork? Sorry, I can see you are all looking at me as though I have lost the plot Dee ;-))
