My claim to fame

Oh Robert - being so young, see what you've missed!
Dippety do was a shocking pink gungy gel like hair product (very short lived product!!) I had to go in various heats - wearing trendy clothes (and Dippety Do) and do a cat walk !! 1st prize was a phsycadelic Mini Cooper -3rd prize (my prize) was a voucher for £20 to spend at a chemists and a hamper of "Dippety do"!!!!!
This "claim to fame " still causes bursts of laughter among my family!
Maybe I should put "Dippety Do" on the "things you don't see anymore" topic!!!!! LOL

I'm sorry, Sue, but I'm going to have to ask. What did "Miss Dippety Do" have to do?

Mine is that I was caned by Ralph Stone whilst at HGS. Anyone else like to contribute to this thread ? It should pull a few skeletons out of the cupboards.
