FC, we used to use the razor blade, then in the mid 80's it was a "rego sticker removal revolution". Glad wrap, bit of water, stick it over the rego sticker, leave it there overnight...wa la.... just peeled off.

The old rego stickers were great weren't they?

Does anyone remember the SA Jubilee in 1986 and some of the festivities that occurred?

Yeah I had the Jubilee Wombat coffee cup until last year when a workmate accidently knocked it off the bench and it broke.

Plus have a Jubilee 150 full size flag in my cupboard. I used to bring it out for state games

For some reason I was thinking this morning about when the Lego Show used to come to town. I remember it being the most amazing thing ever, and used to be super pumped to go.

It used to be in Rundle Mall - Upstairs in Harris Scarfe I think? I remember one in the Myer Centre soon after it opened too.

I think mum has got a medallion somewhere that they gave every school kid. Or was that the bicentenary in 88?

I remember getting a bicentanary one in 1988 - being a 5 year old at the time I had no idea what it meant.

Was too pissed in the Adelaide Uni bar to notice to be honest ... although I managed to sober up for the GF.

The way I recall it, there was a Jubilee 150 coin that was in a zip lock bag.
The Bicentenary medal was in a cardboard casing with a plastic sleeve.

I reckon I still have both.

Mawson Lakes was a paddock and then the MFP, now it's houses.

Wasn't the cost of fixing pre-existing soil pollution one of the reasons it didn't take off as the MFP (IIRC) ?
