You know you're old when.....
Gregg:
‘Tis the season---
To remember when you received your first electric train for Christmas and proceeded to put strips of old school lead based Christmas tree tinsel across the track to see the magic toxic smoke released. :scared:
The best part is to still be alive to remember many such stupid stunts!

The Doc uses a "Police Box", not a phone box.
Those still existed in London in the 1970s, as I was interested in seeing one after watching the old "Dr Who" episodes.
Dunno if the London cops have dismantled them since, or if they are "heritage listed."

The Doctor must have been hungry and stopped at Greggs.
RJSV:
Yes, Ed, and TPowell:
That's MIKEY, musta been 1976'ish.
"...let's let Mikey try it !". (new cereal or food), a couple kids say:, followed by an enthused Mikey diving in to consume dish.
"Hey !!! ....He likes it: Mikey likes it!"
I don't remember much snarky fad after-effect, though. (No joke references, about SEX, drugs, etc.
