    Getting the 21 bus from the Yorkshire Grey to Lewisham with a pocket full of 10p pieces to be 'wasted' in the arcade round by the old pictures.
    Burning a hole in my jumper with the joystick from the Track and Field machine. Bliss.

    District was also used on local buses once the routemaster was joined by those ridiculous "driver operated" buses with automatic doors (nowhere near as much fun as hanging off the platform). I remember District this on the 160 and eventually the 21. Routemaster was on both, plus the 122 and 151....

    Used to love it on the buses, going wherever it took me, carefree, almost like a magical mystery tour, and with all the time in the world. Mind you my passengers weren't always so happy, nor my inspector neither.

    Actually...I mis-remembered.

    The track and field arcade machines with the joystick was OK......it was the ones with the buttons that you needed to pull your jumper sleeve over your hand for. A sliding technique across the buttons was the preferred method for getting up some serious speed.

    Cheapest I remember paying on the was 11p on the 180 or 177, from opposite my house on the Woolwich Road just along from the Vic. That would get us down to Woolwich to cause havoc, starting with the ferry. That woulda been around 1987.

    Also got memories of eating chips in the park behind the Odeon and having to walk home from there because we'd done all our bus fare home.

    Did you need to keep taking them off to offer them to elderly, infirm or pregnant people, that didn't have any trousers on?

    Naval mines used as charity collection boxes. Growing up in the '70s it seemed like every seaside town had at least one. Maybe there are some still about, but I haven't seen one for ages.
