Have you completed your Mirror dinghy yet? ;)
Ah! The days when DIY programmes showed techniques and not idiots bodging.

Nope,I was still in my short pants and recollection of TV was Dr Who(John Pertwee) and Coronation St (Ena Sharples & Minnie Caldwell) :-P
I started one of those.. I gave it up after I still couldn't swim even after lessons. Whoever said everyone floats is a liar.. I can sit on the bottom quite easily.
Argh - the plague to you! How dare you mention Corro! I've just sent a vast number of Neighbours (hood) insects to sort you out. In fun :)
They were outdated in 1967. Hardboard too. Remember they put that over proper panelled doors, and put push-click spring ball-locks. Wow! and they thought that was trendy.
You forgot to mention the red plastic door handles.....
You rotten fellow, I had forgotten until you mentioned it!
Give it a few years and you'll all be putting the hardboard back. It's called 'being a slave to fashion'. Not long now, for my pampas suite to be back in vogue.

Yes, and fitted on a slight angle too
They were a real bugger to cover in fablon.. only door knobs were more difficult.

That Barry Bucknall had a lot to answer for.
Actually it was this show that started the trend...
