Thanks to Eish I remembered some stuff too.

I remember paying 26c for a quart of Lion Lager

I remember LM Radio. David Davies Hit Parade on Sunday evenings.

I remember Pip Freeman on Springbok Radio.

I remember Darryl Jooste

I remember Radio 5 and the awful pre-recorded programmes on Sundays that went out of sync. The DJ was De Nobrega. He always pre-recorded his slot, get to the studio, slap on the reel to reel tape and bugger off to LM for the arvie. The tape would run un-moderated and then the tape and what he’d be announcing would start to screw up. De Nobrega would annonce a song by some band and the music we heard was totally different! Embarrassing. The technician would do nothing (not paid to correct the DJ’s screw-ups) and the programme would degenerate into amateur hour.

I remember Rabbitt! Oooooh Chaaaarrrlieeee………Yay for Trevor Rabin and the boys!

I remember Ipi Tombi

I remember the surfing at Moullie Point. They were mad as hell with all the rocks (nee man, no pun intended!) into which they could be smashed by the waves.

I remember flying in a Viscount from Oranjemund to Cape Town at the start of each new term at Wynberg. We left messages on the sick bags for the next flight of boarders to read!

I remember everyone wanted to be seen wearing Reeboks!

I remember all the okes in class smaaked Sonja.

Chilli Chips!

What do you remember?
