Rapid Retro: electrical brands we hardly see anymore
I came across a Hinari kettle whilst clearing out the loft. Hinari… whatever happened to them? Finding the Hinari Lifestyle kettle got me thinking about other brands that were once popular but we hardly see these days… Remember Awia? This was a solid brand – if you had a Awia hifi system, you had a system not to be messed with. What about Binatone? Popular for clock radios, home telephones and…

Mr Frosty
Intro to the retro by Retrohen THE popular trio of Raleigh bikes: the Boxer, Grifter and Chopper. At least one of the Grandstand handheld electronic games. The Commodore 64 or the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. A Ford Fiesta XR2 or Ford Escort XR3i or Vauxhall Nova sports edition. A fine house in Forest Hill, SE London. Those are some of the things I’d hoped to get, but never did. The closest I got to a…
Rapid Retro: Halifax Cardcash
THIS 1988 advert really brings me back to what used to be a typical Sunday morning: a lie in followed by a stroll to the newsagents to get the Sunday paper, then having a leisurely read whilst enjoying a cup of Nescafé. Halifax made things easy like Sunday morning… Let’s not forget that physically going into the bank to pay bills as well as paying in and accessing money was common during the…
Britannia Music Club
Intro from Retrohen 1988 was a memorable year for me: I was attending Cassio College in Watford, my weekly British Rail train pass from Harlesden to Watford Junction was £13.50, I turned 18 years old, started learning to drive (£7 per driving lesson), had a part-time job at Asda, Park Royal (Friday evenings and all day Saturday) and earned £22 per week. The supermarkets didn’t open on Sundays so…
Rescue me! Alternative car breakdown cover
THERE’S never a convenient time for your car to breakdown. Wouldn’t it be good if you could give your car some ground rules to obey: no breaking down on motorways or duel carriageways, no breaking down between 23rd December to 3rd January, no breaking down on the way to special events (christenings, weddings and birthday parties), no breaking down on winter nights or in no man’s land where you’ve…

Opal Fruits: made to make your mouth water
THEY were made to make your mouth water. Even though now called Starburst, many hardcore old school consumers (myself included) still call them Opal Fruits. In this retro post, I take a fond and swift look back at some of their television adverts. Family getaways The 1974 advert featured a family of four stuck in traffic. The two kids in the back of the car are jaded and bored but the mood…

Thank Crunchie it’s Friday
PEOPLE from a certain era will know all about the Thank Crunchie it’s Friday phrase. If you’re unfamiliar with the phrase then here’s the explanation: it means being overwhelmed with excitement for making it to Friday… waking up with a Cheshire Cat smile, being filled with happiness that’s on par with celebrating a major birthday, the relief of making it through four whole days and now the…

MFI Furniture
WHEN I think about home furniture, I think MFI. Strange really as it’s no longer on our high streets and retail parks. MFI actually disappeared in 2008, which, in my timeframe is not that long ago. I have fond memories of MFI enthusiastically advertising on television. I do wish that MFI was still around… this is because I’m drooling looking at the furniture in their magazine advert at the end…

Ford motor cars: a family favourite
DO you have a preferred brand of car? Mine was Ford (you’ll see why I say was and not is as you read through this post). My first Ford was a red 4-door Escort 1.3 (registration OLM 266W). My dad bought it in 1987 and used it for his short journey to work at the Heinz factory in Harlesden. He passed it down to me in 1991 when he took early retirement. Things got off to a bit of a bumpy start with…

Who pinched the Cadbury's Creme Eggs?
THE YEAR is 1984. It’s the school Easter holiday and Suzy had purchased five Cadbury’s Creme Eggs using the money she’d saved in her piggy bank. She carefully put them in the dining room cupboard with the intention of cracking them open on Easter Day. She decided to check-up on them two days before Good Friday but they were gone… Nooooooooooooooooo! All five of them were in the dining room,…
