Reminds me of this:

The sex life of a man based on his age…

20-40yo - tri-weekly. 
40-60yo - try weekly. 
60yo +    - try weakly.

😁

You are too kind.

Never mind.

First of all there was the pound, slang term quid, this was divided into 20 shillings with one shilling (bob), two shilling (old term florin) coins and a 10 shilling note. A shilling was divided into 12 pennies with three penny (thrup'ny bit) and six penny

A bob as in footy talk.

“The sleeper” - is that another name for “Rock the cradle”???

I haven't been on for a few days. It seems Demonland has suffered a bout of censorship. Are we now so sensitive that we cannot take bad news?

It was one of those fads that lasted a while. I remember you could buy the cheaper Fanta yo yos. If memory serves, the coke clear ones were a dollar twenty. Probably collector items now.

Ha.

He was before my time though.

Uglies included killer Karl and Butcher Branigan.

I loved Andre the Giant.

werent no dollars then, deever.  so, that would be 12 shillings, though that seems too dear.  get a bag of genuine strings for sixpence too.

My Fav was the Fanta.

Harder to find than the coke ones now and even rarer to find one in VG to 'near mint' condition.

No.  Still traumatised.  Was only a small kid and I reckon the string was longer than me. 2nd go the yoyo hit the ground and broke in 2.  The rest is history.  Explains everything really.
