Binners – I didn’t live with you at uni did I? Visit to the Jet garage on the way back from town for a Ginsters pasty and a copy of their finest grot mag was pretty much a tradition when I wasn’t going back to the then GFs house!
I think that was probably the last time for me. So about 14 years ago.
Lot’s of grot mag stories.
A mate at uni had a bet with another to see who could accumulate £100 of paper pron the quickest. Never understood it as I think it would’ve cost less to just lose the bet. The funniest thing was when he got his first girlfriend at uni and decided he should get rid of his stash. Instead of sharing it out he went to the big bins (we were in halls) and just dumped them all. On finding out a few of us were disgusted at how unsustainable he was so went and had a look for them – to no avail.

One of my summer jobs was as a drivers mate for White Arrow delivery company. Delivering bigger stuff like washing machines, fridges, wardrobes etc… ordered through Littlewoods/Kays catalogues. The depot I worked out of used to get the lorries brought up from the distribution centre overnight full of that days deliveries. We’d collect the lorry in the morning to deliver, drop it back off at the end of the day empty. We’d end up with different lorries most days. But one we used to end up with every few days had a massive stash of grot under the passenger seat and what can only be described as a filth viewing platform – a wooden board with photos cut out and stuck on to it. The overnight driver of that lorry must have has a busy night!
