Rentaghost T-shirts at Amazon.co.uk Searching for an uber cool T-shirt theme idea that no one else has thought of can be a daunting task. A retro tee is always a pretty cool choice (well, almost always!), but even more so when it manages to turn heads. A Rentaghost T-shirt is certainly a unique and geeky choice, and geek fashion is certainly very chic right now, particularly if it's purely British. Only if you're of a certain age will you remember Rentaghost , which was a pretty zany kids comedy series which aired on BBC1 during the late 1970s and into the first half of the 80s. The logo has many similarities to the Ghostbusters design, except it was created long before the Ghostbusters movie was first shown in 1984. However, while the film's plot revolved around extinguishing ghosts, Rentaghost, of course, was about hiring them out!

An original 1980s Chunky Knit Fair Isle Sweater If you remember being forced to wear a mock Fair Isle jumper that your gran had knitted for you as a child, then you're certainly not alone! My gran tended to knit loose, very loose, and I swear she thought I was an orangutan, judging by the length of the arms. "Don't worry child, you'll soon grow into it" was a phrase that was frequently used. By the time I had finally grown into it, the sweater was no longer fit for purpose!
