I have no idea what's up there.  Or in the garage.  I'm absolutely sure there's a load of my stuff up there, but it has all been submerged under an absolute deluge of crap belonging to the wife and the grown-up and flown-the-nest children.  When we moved in 12 years ago, it was tidy and I knew exactly what was there and where.  Then my kids got old enough to go up there on their own, so it's a tip. :( :( :(

I'm frankly surprised that no-one's mentioned the old clothes that find their way into lofts. I had really good collection of flares and kipper ties until SWMBO discovered them and sent them off to the charity shop.  :-X :-[ ;D

Mind you, Maria, you didn't mention hot pants. Whilst in my loft I found a programme for the John Player European Grand Prix at Brands Hatch back in 1970-something. The JPS team hired load of leggy blondes wearing black T-shirts and tight gold hot pants to hand out free fags. :y

Found bloody all sorts up there.  Even found some F1 cars that I bought hoping they might be worth something one day.  (Never even opened the box'es)
seem to remember you found a philips reel to reel, think i pm`d you about it. dont still have it do you ::)

I did, and a Sony one.  neither have been seen since the move, loads of boxes were put in the spare room, and judgeing by the progress made so far may well still be in the same place in 5 years time.

Dont think the philips one is anything special.  Had seen the Sony model (Refurbed ) on Ebay for quite a wad which is the reason I kept it.

but all said I dont think it's anything special.  Looks like it may be (or similar) a Sony TC-366 Reel to Reel.

My first recollection was 1968 when i was 12yrs old & used to wear flower shirts with penny round collars & matching flower ties plus bell bottom trousers!  :o

Great for going outside in the garden with my girlfriend for a kiss & cuddle amongst the plants cos no bugger could see me as i blended in so well with all the flowers!!  :D

My first girlfriend was a girl called Liz Short who was 5'10'' & i had to stand on a box just to kiss her!  :-*

And if u think thats strange i then went out with her best friend who was called Liz Long & she had to stand on her tip toes to kiss me! I swear on my kids lives that thats a true story - u just couldn't make it up  :-/

Nickbat, the first 100 issues of Tiger all are worth a few bob (a non-mint issue one sold at auction this year for around $900 in the states - first appearance of roy of the rovers) i'd reckon on getting £10 for anything in good condition from issue 2-10, then maybe £5 each from 11 to 100, any annuals are worth money too, even up to the 80's but not the kind of stuff I sell...unfortunately  - I'll keep a look out for anyone who's interested in them  :y

Pete Townshend referred to his guitar as a Stratocruiser:

"I knocked about on that for a bit and the first actual guitar I owned was a Harmony single pickup Stratocruiser which I sprayed red. And the next decent guitar I had I bought from Roger (Daltrey) which was an Epiphone solid. He let me buy that from him on easy payments. Roger used to be a lead guitar player in a band and so he could afford a good guitar. This brings us up until about ’62 and by that time I was playing pretty good."

I think (but Im not sure) that stratocruiser was a nickname for a Stratocaster. Anyway if anyone has one in the loft I will up Nicks bid and will pay a tenner for it, even if its a really really old one. :y ::) :D ;D

"The Squier Special Strat is the all time classic of electric guitars. The original Stratocaster, as it was named, was designed and built in 1954 by Leo Fender, an amp and guitar maker in America. The design of the guitar was, and still is, revolutionary and we believe it owes its modernistic name to the then super-modern aircraft, the 'Stratocruiser'."

http://www.axemusic.co.uk/squier_special_strat_pack.html

Which is probably the reason that the Stratocaster is nicknamed the Startocruiser by some.

Which reminds me. I found a painting and a violin in the loft. I took them to my local auction house last week and the man told me to leave them with him while he valued them. Anyway, I went back today and he said that he had some good news and some bad news. Here's the conversation:

Me: I'll take the good news first, then.

Him: Well, I pleased to tell you that you brought in a Stradivarius and a Rembrandt.

Me: Great! What can the bad news be?

Him: Stradivarius couldn't paint and Rembrandt made lousy violins.

That would of been hard to reach from the back seat but if you had longer arms then you might of done ;D ;D ;D ;D

 ;D ;D ;D That's true.

Mind you, Maria, you didn't mention hot pants. Whilst in my loft I found a programme for the John Player European Grand Prix at Brands Hatch back in 1970-something. The JPS team hired load of leggy blondes wearing black T-shirts and tight gold hot pants to hand out free fags. :yIt was all a bit too much for an innocent boy like me.  ;) ;D ;D


1973 iirc, cos I was there, and took the fags...... :D :D
Free transport and entrance, went when I was at HMS Ganges, so 15 going on 16 at the time........... ;D ;D ;D

"The Squier Special Strat is the all time classic of electric guitars. The original Stratocaster, as it was named, was designed and built in 1954 by Leo Fender, an amp and guitar maker in America. The design of the guitar was, and still is, revolutionary and we believe it owes its modernistic name to the then super-modern aircraft, the 'Stratocruiser'."

Which is probably the reason that the Stratocaster is nicknamed the Startocruiser by some.


There you go. All one and the same. I'll still give a fiver for it! :y
Squier brand guitars are Fenders cheap Mexican entry-level versions of the real things - like my 1955 Stratocaster! (it's also my Pension)
The original Fender electric guitar was the Broadcaster circa 1950 which had to be renamed the Telecaster because it infringed someone elses' brand name

Absolutely, Gretsch had a "Broadcaster" electric guitar, and threatened to sue Leo for a lot of money!!
mine is a '67 in black with a maple neck and is my pension too!!

(prefer to play my Parker Fly or Gibbo Goldtop though, sounds better!)
