    Never mind Bosco, I remember Tayto Crisps when they had a little twist of salt in blue paper in the bag. You opened up the bag, fished out the twist of paper and emptied the salt in, then you closed the bag and shook it to distribute the salt over the crisps.

    A strange sense of "how the fcuk do I know this" has come over me but I think the line was "come with me through the magic door".

    Loved the tongue twisters...used to try and copy them....

    Re the marla men, can't remember their names at all!!

    I remember one story they told about a magpie stealing a mother's ring because it was shiny. Hated magpies after that!

    It's crazy the things that stick with us. Or perhaps it's the crazy things that stick with us!!!!!! :eek:

    I remember Pat Ingoldsby had a show where if it was your birthday, you'd roar your name at your TV at home and then it would appear on screen, or something like that?

    Any one else?
