Fun times

[Oldman]

LOVED the cap bombs !
…..and there were good ones and not quite as good, cheaper ones.
The rich kids had the die cast metal ones….
(We had just as much fun with the plastic ones….. )

I vividly remember hitting a full coil of caps with my dad’s hammer……..once.
My ears rang for ages……..almost as long as my backside hurt from being belted for being stupid !
(Curious…..)

We had one of those little rippers when we were newly weds, it was an awesome machine and washed my white overalls really well, then we had a Whirlpool sudsaver which was also awesome and water efficient, unfortunately technology has replaced both of these machines and now it takes twice as long to wash a load and uses over 100 litres of water.

Remember when these were “about” 2 inches high.

Remember when these were “about” 2 inches high.

I don’t remember them being that high……..but I do remember when there was more of them, in a standard packet

…..and that the pink was actual marshmallow, not icing…..
