Ford Anglia

My very first car, with the slanting rear screen, go-faster stripes and a 6ft fibreglass whip aerial. ?

Always wanted an NSU Quickly moped though.

@debbiedo49 Ah, but when and how old were you when you got it - they had been available between 1979 - 2010..I'm gues ing 49 is either your YoB or your age (trying to be tactful )

I was 17 (1974) when I bought my first stereo tape deck on HP from Currys. It didn't have speakers and couldn't afford an amplifier and sperate speakers and had to listen to it with massive headphones - it gave me vertigo and made me physically sick.  ?

Cut that in half vertically and it looks like my older brothers first tape deck ? 
I was in my late teens when my boyfriend gave me a Walkman. They were all the rage then. Must have been 1987

@UCExpert

Finders - keepers, losers - weepers. Uhh, FIndus maybe?

Always burned my mouth on them - like Pop Tarts. ?

Silly auto correct ?

My dad's old rent book (the year before I was born).

The rent was 31 shillings and 8 [old] pence or £1:11s:8d, including rates and water charges, for a 3 bedroom house, approximately equivalent to £1.58. With inflation that would be just over £39 in today's money.

Not I, but I bet my youngest big-sis can, 

'GizmoTiddles' - is that like a fluffy cat with big ears that turns nasty if you feed it after midnight?
