Kids today don’t know they’re born. Back in my day we didn’t ‘ave any computers, video games, or iPhones. We had to make our own fun, like making a mask out of an old pair of tights and using BISCUITS FOR EYES.
Try telling kids today that and they won’t believe you.

This image isn’t some Scarfolk gag either, it’s from a real 1976 book called Creative Masks for Stage and School.

We made our biscuits the old-fashioned way, with breadcrumbs and butterbeans. We grew those on grandad’s allotment.
This method of mask-manufacture was, of course, the technique used by the BBC in 1966 when designing the original Cybermen.

Biscuits? Luxury. When I were a lad, we used to dreeeeeam of having biscuits for eyes. In fact, our dad would thrash us to within an inch of our lives if ‘e ever saw us near a chocolate ring. Even the mention of a garibaldi would send ‘im into spasms of satanic thrusting and bloody carnage.
