The lorry that used to stick big tube down the drains and clean them out

Jeez you're living in the future !!! My eldest is on two paper round waiting lists.. and i cycle past a house with a milk float on the drive (on the way home that is), and i quite often pass a 'drain cleaner' filling up with water from a hydrant.....

For me coke can ring pulls were great, you'd separate them and the ring would fly miles !!! (or it seemed that when i was 10 !!)
