Deelyboppers


Deelyboppers

Glittery, wobbly antennae which kids wore to discos thinking they were really cool.

Let's face it, they just weren't. They were one of the silliest fashion accessories yet seen - even worse than odd coloured luminous socks.

The safest place for the bonce bouncers was in the school disco hall where girls were on one side and boys were on the other, eating cheese and onion crisps.

However some foolish youngsters insisted on wearing them out shopping, walking the dog or even to the cinema - which was unfortunate for the people in the seats behind.
