We go back to about 1982 when I had just been given an F10 to drive, I was young and proud of this lorry and took it into LPG in Batley to clean my tank out. Whilst there I took the opportunity of giving it a livery wash, when I went into sign up I was asked the registration and I spelt it out phonetically.
Victor Nobby Balls - VNB 544X
Jimmy the cleaning operator wrote this down on the permitted livery wash list and I became known as Victor Nobby Balls for years. Jimmy retired to Spain, the name carried on and my last visit was around 2006 and my fictitious name was resurrected, someone called out across the yard after me, using the name Victor

As well as those Davey, I can remember Farthings, cos it used to cost three Farthings for me to go to school on the bus.
And, what about Mo-Jo’s, or a tube of smarties? I haven’t seen any of those for quite a few years.
Fruit Salads, Black Jacks, Tic Tacs and I think the liquorice ones were called Imps in a little tin Lol

Indeed Davey, I remember all of those with fondness.
In the days before the High Street bookies, it used to cost my Dad 3d or 4d to place his horse racing bets by phone. 
Another one that folks might have missed is the penny arrow bar.

I still work in L$+d to keep my old dialect fresh. But I am quite surprised when I am speaking to people of my own age who cannot grasp both currencies, it seems to be the same type who have to wind their watches forward when they are on the ferry 
When Beer got to 50bob I said i would stop drinking, mind you I said that when it got to 4bob, 7bob and 11/6. I am just off out now and expect to pay 2 1/2 guineas per pint. It will be cheaper to drink a pin rather than a firkin

Don’t know if they still sell packets of " Rough Shag" cigarettes but I’ll be dammed if I’m asking for em, stick with me BHRough shag was pipe tobbacco, so it’s just as well you didn’t!

How do I know? well when I was too young to smoke but did, I went into a tobacconist and asked for some tobacco and papers…Which tobacco do you want said the shop keeper…not knowing there was any difference I saw some “rough shag” and asked for that. the rest as they say is history…it tasted bloody awful and I bet the tobacconist is still laughing about it today
Oh, thought it was an old brand of cigs, still a funny story though jimti, and a funny name eh,
