Ah - fond memories indeed. I was WD40. There used to be a shop in St.Andrew Street that, surprisingly, didn't last long... I wonder why. [;)]

Great memories of those times, never spoke much myself, didn't get much chance. There were a crowd of us, I was Red Wing, the other half was the Medicine Man,together with The Preacher and Cherokee chief out of Hatfield. The Pheasant Plucker definately rings a bell

Blimey - I thought everyone had forgotten about all that stuff. I'm sure I vaguely remember hearing some of those 'handles' - Tweeki, Crafty Cockney et al.. I met Mrs Pez as a direct result of our CB radio days. We were part of a large and very active CB crowd in the Hoddesdon area. I was 'Captain Kirk', wife was 'Cleopatra'. There were so, so, many others I can't remember now.

I used to get a lift to school with someone who was into all this and I remember thinking at the time how ridiculous it all was. Still, it was all harmless fun, I suppose. Can't remember the "handle" of the guy who gave us a lift. It could be Exiled actually. If you rolled the car into a field on the way home one day, with me in the front, then it's you. If not, it's one of your CB mates from the early 80s. All harmless fun.

In those days most people called me`PP`... bet you can`t guess why !! I met both the first Mr`s Exiled & the current one through CB.... Once again vague recollections of Red Wing & Medicine man....much like Del,i think it`s age related !!!!!.....now what did i sitdown at the computer for?.......

Can't really remember. Blue, I think. I was usually turning my head away in embarrasment whilst this 6ft bendy aerial was being pulled out of the boot and attached to the car by way of an industrial magnet. How cool did we look?
