| For example, when was the last time you saw either a Vauxhall Cavalier? They used to be everywhere. Haven't seen one in ages.
Fruit Salads, four a penny.
KP Crisps
Fry's Turkish Delight
Wagon Wheels
Petrol Pump Attendants
Anyone think of anything else? |

| I'm sure fruit salads, curly wurlies and sherbert saucers are still about. In Cyprus, all petrol stations have attendants, usually smoking on the forecourt whilst waiting for custom In summer, the Eastern European girls get the petrol pumping jobs, wearing shorts n t shirts. The stations with the best looking girls make a fortune. |

| The same thing happens here Tringreen, but not with any good lookers. I worked as a fuel attendant at a petrol station that was allowed to sell leaded fuel. The petrol station has gone, I've gone, has leaded petrol gone? I also used to have a Vauxhall Cavalier. |

| My Cavalier blew up on the A38 west bound, luckily much closer to Plymouth than Exeter. I suppose it must be a Cavalier thing. The other day I did see a fine 80's model here though, very good nick. It was however badged as an Opel so maybe thats why it's still running. |
