Good call, It was a clothes peg with cardboard fitted to the frame of your front or rear wheel and a clip round the ear from the old lady for nicking her clothes pegs that she "couldn't afford in the first place"

Shredded Wheat used to give away Striker style footballers you had to assemble yourself. I loved those. The bits were on "sprues": How often do you see that word these days?

These bring back memories. My mum religiously collected them. 20 books of stamps got you a dustpan and brush! I can still recall sticking them into the books and the sugary taste of the stamps. Yum!
There aint half been some clever bastards.

Hey Ted, Were you in the Rifle Brigade or Kings Royal Rifle Corps.
Rifle Brigade mate, trained at Winchester then Celle in West Germany (BAOR) for a few Years including other places in Europe but mainly in West Germany. Mostly good memories apart from some time in 1968 when the Russian and Warsaw pact armies entered Czechoslovakia to quell the uprising and the whole of NATO was put on alert including us. It really was a dodgy time what with Vietnam going on and all that, It was a near thing, one minute we were in our barracks next thing we're out on the German plains digging in. I cant remember the Czech Presidents name for the life of me.

Winchester, I think the barracks were called Trenchard Barracks I cant remember for sure, almost right opposite Winchester prison.
We've just built a £36 million academy at Tidworth so I'm back there on and off with work quite a bit so It's a memory jog for me, most of the old barracks have gone but its still a huge army gaff. I know every bloody inch of Salisbury Plains, I should do I dug what must have been a thousand trenches in the goddam place.
