A few more Adelaide TV memories.........


- The old blue analog clock that used to be on Channel 10 at the half hour between shows.

Ahhh...did that bring back some memories. Watching the clips of old ads on that link was also a real trip down memory lane. The Alulite ad is a chuckle for the fashions and the old jingle ("Think aluminium, think Al-ulite!"!). The John Martin's ad afterwards was another I hadn't seen for years (Johnnies is another institution sadly forgotten...those old lifts with the brass gates inside).

Not to mention when the MTT buses used to go to Kirkcaldy and Oldfield - two parts of Adelaide long forgotten...

Don't forget to use your orange credit card!!!

Orange Credit Card, interesting! What era is that from LL? 70's??

[Psyber]

another mtt route was to greymore another suburb long forgotten (glenelg north)

I remember the Graymore loop off the Anzac Highway from my brief sojourn as a bus conductor in my student days. The other loop went to Somerton.

I wore black "Desert Boots" with ripple soles to Woodville High, and later replaced them with black suede shoes with crepe soles and white stitching.. ahhh youth!
I recently found a pair of those fingerless golves in a drawer, in good condition, I may start the fad again.

We used to call them "crinkle cut romper stompers" (and no, I didn't own a pair )

Desert boots, I remember my mum making me wear them to school in year one and I hated them, so I lost them and walked home bare foot. Used to pay out Morialta High folk who wore them religiously.

Adidas Romes were for wogs (I can say that, I am one) cool people like me wore Volleys - isnt it funny how fashions come round again?

[Lightning McQueen]

Ciak's, one loop hole, soft and comfy, no good for kicking footy's though, had to use your KT26's

AMSCOL FOOTY COLOURS. This iced confectionary was my introduction to the SANFL back when I was a nine year old from Sydney wearing an Eastern Suburbs jumper to Clapham Primary School with all the other kids pointing and laughing and thinking that I came from Mars LOL.

When I was in high school the 'skins' wore the Romes (and Doc Martins of course) with Red socks, the 'Doggers' (aussies) wore desert boots, Ciaks or ripples brown RM Williams boots depending on image and the 'wogs' wore the black and white runners or Black RM Williams boots.

Black and white runners, were they "officials"

Anyone remember those posters you used to get (I think from the Banks) with the fixture and all clubs stickers, and you'd have to put the winning teams sticker over the game(s)?

Bank of Adelaide from memory, I remember having one in 1978 and running out of Sturt stickers, not that I needed one for the GF!

There was also the premiership tables from KFC (I think) that had slots in it so you could move the teams around from week to week.

Correct, you must've been one of the rich kids, getting to eat at KFC

I reckon we only got that to get the premiership tables at the start of every footy season. Fish & chips was the 'treat' otherwise.

You know us modest Salisbury boys mate!

PS - Have to be happy with the lads efforts on Sunday? Top morning I reckon.

Yeah, it was superb, pity about Dan, bit of a silly move picking him in the 17's the day before.

I can remember Winky Dink on Channel 9, Agro was a favourite in the mornings!

Can anybody remember that great show on ABC Secret Valley?
