Does anyone use the big old Silver Cross prams any more?

Much beloved of the 'Mary Poppins' style of nanny.

I was reminded of these when I caught Danny Maker the other day and he told of how spotting a mustard coloured one lifted him out of a pettish mood.

If one of them caught you a glancing blow you knew all about it.

If you'd been anywhere near Peckham Rye Park in the late '70s you would have seen my mother pushing me round in one of these!

Papooses may look a little sniggery, but not as stupid as carrying something the size of three bags of sugar in a pram that could sleep six, has suspension and a towbar for a caravan.


I suspect that half the 'real men' who aint gonna wear no papoose are also the sorts who 'don't do nappies, luv'.

why not, as the bambino gets heavier it should be natural that the bloke takes over, after all the woman carries the child for nine months.....that's long enough! I saw Mr C.Ed today with his baby carrier and he looked perfectly at ease. Like going to the gym and lifting some weights.

    • Tercio, do you know how long after delivery the packages were taken? It has been suggested on here before that the thieves may be connected to the person who delivered them. And out of all the potential houses, it does seem odd that they happen to come on the one with a delivery left on the doorstep. This could also explain why vladi's neighbour's boxes have never been taken.
    • Pity that the image is very dark. Have you considered installing a motion sensitive light that you can adjust and/or a Recordable PIR that delivers a message like "Don't even think about it!" My neighbour has one and he leaves out an old Amazon box  on the doorstep in full view on odd days. It's  never ben taken yet.
    • Iso of large chest of drawers please similar to ones pictured 
    • I'm just about to adopt a new cat & they now have to be kept in at night. Technology really isn't my thing so is there anyone out there who would be happy to go through the instructions for a new cat flap with a timer & explain to me, in simple words, how it works? Maybe someone who already has one?
