Best done on a long fork in front of the fire. Then some fool invented an electric toaster and took all the fun away. I still do my toast on a grill not a toaster, much better.

Quite right...thick slice of bread...fresh...toasted over coal fire,smothered in dripping with plenty of the brown jelly in it,a shake of salt...yummy stuff.

Yup, the corona man we used to call him. Does Corona pop even still exist now?

Yep I remember him.

Also used to like chewy bars called Texans. And another bar called Lovells Milky Lunch which was like a big Milky Way but nicer.

And "Dads Cookies " the best biscuits ever. You can't get them anymore. My Grandad always had them in a triangular tin in the kitchen cupboard.

Totally agree. Quite partial to a grab bag sized pack of Frazzles but would take these instead any day of the week!

What is that about? Banana yoghurt is exceedingly lush. I do not miss toffee yoghurt.

Or the big pots of ski yoghurts

What about those apple tart boiled sweets? They were yummy. My personal fave is those chewy milk bottle sweets that are lightly dusted, which thank god you can still get. Wagon wheels were great when I was a kid. They were massive !

Not a savoury thing but you cant buy Lincoln Cream or Royal Scot biscuits now they were my favourites when I was young lad

I remember when ET came out they did ET biscuits. Like custard creams but cola flavoured.

I mean when the film came out. I know nothin about his sexual predilictions.

There used to be this lorry came round once a week selling bottles of pop. You would buy them then the next week when they came back get your deposit back on the bottle. Recycling before it was fashionable. Maybe they should do that again, would increase recycling levels.

I used to drive one of those for Corona
