Remember Ali Bongo not the double deckers tho. White horses always seemed to be on in the school holidays along with Casey Jones the train driver and the Banana Splits?. But tiswas was brilliant 👌

I used to like Tiswas as well,can also remember folly foot,..I heard the theme recently and I remember it like yesterday...
I also remember my Cornish gramps giving me a pen knife with special scales,it had everything, including a mini saw,which meant I had to have camps,and I was told,dont tell ye mother I gave it to you...ssshhh,imagine if that happened today..
I reckon I haven't changed,I still do all the things I did as kid,but on a bigger,but not better scale..
We had freedoms them days,I feel for the youngsters of today in a way,..
Also Thunderbirds,I remember that as well..Parker,and the pink lots of wheels Rolls Royce...
And Spangles,I'd love to try those again..

Spangles were great! Good shout.
I definitely remember the double deckers and the theme song. Tiswas too. The phantom flan flinger and all that.
Black beauty, the old black and white Robinson Crusoe, Marc Bolan's tv show, then later on the Incredible Hulk with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno (don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry) , Tom Baker as Doctor Who with k9, BJ and the Bear (my dad was a truck driver so I loved that one) - but I'm maybe straying into the 80's with those last ones...

Used to have a chat with Bob Carolgees in his shop til he sold up. Always made me laugh moaning about people recognising him. The place was plastered in photos of him with other celebs
The Flashing Blade tune just got lodged in my head reading this

Remember them? I should say so: I used to drive one!
Routes 36b, 12, 78 out of Peckham Garage in 1970 and '71. RTs and RMs and RMLs. Great fun battling the black cabs up and down Park Lane and around the Arch and HP Corner

If you ever thought to yourself, ***k me! How did this guy ever get a PSV license? as I revved the pieces out of the thing, then yes, it may well have been me!
BTW: Sorry for hijacking your thread, Adam. Didn't look at the OP, just saw the thread title and got all confuzzled. Thought you were talking about buses!
