Ok I'm another ex-Brit and didn't understand half the questions - except The Lone Ranger - that's a sad admission on my youth. So here's a few very old memories for any British Tolpuddlians. 1.Anyone remember the Cisco Kid? And the famous line at the end as they rode off laughing/ Who were 'they'? 2. Anyone remember Muffin the Mule? 3. How about a laughing mexican in a huge hat - cartoon I think - gave me nightmares as a child? 4. The Wooden Tops? no not a pop group - a kids programme - what was the dog called? 5. How about Bronco and Cheyenne? Why did I love all the cowboy programmes?? 6. What was the big guy's name in Bonanza? 7. Anyone remember Chicken Shack and their one big hit? 8. How about the British band in the 70s - the lead singer had a red towel? 9. Anyone remember the British singer in the 60's who tried to be a 2nd Elvis, sang "Hold Me' and split his tight pants on stage? 10. Did anyone eat butter sugar when they had a sore throat as a child? (It worked.) Oh you've got me all nostalgic now Donna - and where were all of you when they landed on the moon? Who remembers Ban the Bomb and nuclear disarmament? Sit ins at the nuclear power stations, smoggy early evenings when the buses couldn't run after school - oh those were the days!
