The last time we were in Totnes we were sat outside the Seven Stars and heard a clip clop horsey sound and caught a whiff of weed, and looked up to see a horse & cart coming down the hill opposite. The driver was lying down on the bench seat, watching his phone and smoking a spliff. Horsey made it down the hill, negotiated a right turn at the roundabout and carried on along the road with absolutely no input from driver.

The lad collecting glasses, who happened to be Downs Syndrome said ā€œ That’s peak Totnes right there that isā€.

Boomerang guy deffo drove a pre-war Bentley or an Austin Healey 3000, it’s impossible to imagine him in anything else.

The whole film was Ben Kingsley! I can’t believe someone would sign off on a remake.

Says something about where I grew up that it was considered a ā€˜rich kids’ toy, chiefly because having new toys, and in any number, was generally a ā€˜rich kids’ thing…

Utterly normal at the time, looks different thru the distorting-lens of time…

I also remember that they were fucking annoying, as the girls with them never fucking let-up. And they were definitely a girl’s toy. Not being smutty: toy-ā€˜apartheid’ was strong back then. Being caught with any kind of a ā€˜girl’s toy’ (hula-hoop, skipping rope, any ball that wasn’t a football, indeed pretty much anything that couldn’t be used as a weapon in some way) was a certain sign of effeminacy, and a one-way street to poofterism… :flushed:
