There goes the memory lane train again @Rob Fisher 
I remember putting the Navy down as my choice when I completed my forms for National Service. Still thought I was very clever to spin a story about wanting to follow a career in the SA Navy. Great excitement when my call up was to the Navy - BUT I then got drafted to the Naval Marines. So I still ended up with two trips - one to sector 10 with Infantry School and a second one taking my own troops to sector 70.
So anyone that did a stint at Infantry School in Oudtshoorn will remember Badkop and Witkop Badenhorst

The ice-cream truck with its music blaring away ... or the ice-cream guy pedalling away on a hot summer's day.
And the mealie-guy, with a basket of mealies stacked high on his bicycle, pedalling away and shouting, "Mea.....lies!!!!" at the top of his voice.

The Chopper Bike was my best present EVER! And it cost a WHOPPING R75 which my parents saved up for over time! It was a three-speed bike! I loved it!
I always wanted one, but it too "boyish" for my Mum's liking, and I refused one of those silly "strawberry" bikes with the basket at the front

Ouch - painful memories. That little wheel in the front getting a speed wobble at speed.... Epic fall.

Speed wobble, going uphill, in 1st gear, on sand track.... epic face-plant.
Had a Raleigh 3 speed bike, safer than a chopper. Went everywhere on that.
Following the Comrades from Westville to Pmb, cheering the leaders before going to another spot further you the road. Can't do that anymore

I had forgotten about Wilson toffees! And how could I forget - my grandfather used to work for Wilson's in East London and once a year he would send a "Mystery Box" to us.
That is a sweet bike! If they still looked like this I would be getting one!
