YES! I remember Disneytime well. Didn't it use to be on a Saturday as well? They used to have Disney's world of adventures or something.
I loved Disney time.

I remember that....it was must watch viewing for kids....

As was the Harlem Globetrotters (not the cartoon) cos that was always on too....watching Meadowlark do his tricks was great!

Meadowlark Lemon........now that brings back lots of youthful memories

As a child we used to get up early - (sort of help my mum) make mountains of sandwiches. Don new Bank Holiday clothes and meet up at East Croydon Station with numerous family members for a day trip to Brighton.

Sticks of rock, cockles swimming in vinegar, fish and chips, buckets and spades (although there was no sand).

Happy days

In my yoof Bank Holidays meant day trips away. In my teens and early 20's it meant partying from Friday to Monday and strobe lights. In my mid-late 20's it meant decorating and Homebase. In my 30's it's usually meant getting pulled for speeding and thinking of alibi's. Today it means spending the day running after the dog who keeps knocking the feckin plants over

I can't remember much about Bank Holidays when I was young - it was probably because it was just another lovely day to play outside with my friends -certainly we would have not gone anywhere cos of all the crowds of like minded people.

Having said that, if there were a fete or something on, we would always go to that.

I remember one bank Hol in my late teens was spent watching the Iranian Embassy seige on TV in the pub...

I knew how to live!

i remember that well. We had just returned from a day out (My youngest was a bab) turned on the TV - it was quite surreal wasn't it?

It was after copious amounts of vodka!

I have been youtubing looking for Harlem Globetrotter stuff but can't find any good quality stuff from the period i remember (late 60's early 70's)

Wish my dad was like that - he relished the challenge of motorway traffic and seeing how long he could get away with driving down the inside lane for without getting caught  He'd shove the Elvis cassette in, turn it up full blast and away we'd go, with me screaming 'are we there yet'

A mate of mine says he saw Coolio in Southend this morning.

Okay, so it's Bank Holiday Monday... But Coolio??? He doesn't strike me as the knotted handkerchief, deckchair or inflatable dolphin type! LOL

I can only imagine he was filming for BBLB or has friends in Essex.

When i was younger it was being dragged to see family and eat buffet type teas.
In my 20's it was out all day drinking.
These days it is holidays, or spending time with the kids, watching films and snuggling up with loads of cinema style food.

Maybe the octopus on his head was missing his friends!!
