It's frothy man - can't remember the name of the drink for the life of me. It was a bear in shades
Someone has posted all the episodes on Youtube. Absolutely transfixed for half an hour, Saturday mornings back in 1983!Star Fleet.
Stoke Heath BMX track was brilliant! Really tight and winding. Remember seeing Trevor Robinson practicing round it, mouth agape at how fast he was.Raleigh burner, Mag wheels, Mongoose.
I spent a lot of my youth pelting around the BMX track by the Morris common, every now and again I would sneak down to Stoney Stanton BMX track, but that bugger was a bit big and some of the jumps were difficult to get over for a youngster.
Playing football over the common, stopping the game as soon as a dog was anywhere near for fear of them popping the ball, which was often as dogs wandering around the streets on their own was pretty common.
Staying out all day in the school holidays and summer, very rarely getting sun burnt... Getting a "legger"
The Young ones, yes I was allowed to watch them from a young age, the A444 not being built, playing along the railway embankment, dodging teenagers on "scramblers" discarded pornos in the bushes, sneaking in for the last 15 minutes once the gates were opened at Highfield road. What a bloody wonderful time it was!!

Divine, but expensive. Truly melt in the mouth.
Split crutch panties in the Peeping Tom.The guy who came in the pub selling cockles, mussells etc and u shouted have you got crabs mate
We also used to have a 1/2 pipe, never plucked up the courage to go on it though. Sadly it was destroyed when somebody set fire to it.Stoke Heath BMX track was brilliant! Really tight and winding. Remember seeing Trevor Robinson practicing round it, mouth agape at how fast he was.
You were right about the other one being too big. Coventry wheels I thing it was called and it was built when the BMX fad was on the wane.
Wood End was my local track. Remember loads of us gathering to race every evening in the summer of 85. Great memories!
And slide rules. One of the shortest-lived inventions. I swear one month after they were invented, someone invented the calculator.logarithm tables..at school instead of calculators
