Mmmn, Flake adverts. Filth.
Oh yes and telly where it was fine to racially stereotype people and be overtly racist, use phrases like nig-nog, but you couldn't say tit, arse, bum or sh!t, EVER. Now, even Zebedee tells Florence she's a Hoe and she should suck his d1ck, f***g bitch, mother F***g sl@g and that's just on CBBC!
Spangles! the Cola ones. Big One, Bazooka Joe, Crackerjack popcorn, flying saucers, pineapple chunks. Rickets, diphtheria, consumption, proper potatoes. Spitfires in the sky, Bluebirds....White cliffs

Lucky bugger she's infinitely well spoken blessed with poise and grace , elegant and refined (well she was) and every time i seen her i used to wonder what what the exterior veneer hid . Bet she was a wildcat in the bedroom
I guess she still is but time tends to dampen appeal .

I met her at the Royal Opera House, her husband was one of our conductors, she was in her parked car, I crossed in front of it as she started the engine and I did an exaggerated jump, she thought I had been startled and got out to apologise. We had a little chat, she has such a sexy voice.
Surprised that nobody's mentioned "Wagon Wheels", and their demise...
...and Capstan Full Strength were 2/6 for 20 in my day, along with Senior Service and Players (all untipped of course).

I'm sure I can remember in the mid fifties petrol at 2/6d a gallon. Finding a ten bob note (remember them?) in the pocket of the trousers you wore last week meant a night out with the lads and enough left for the bus home, Ah! those were the days.
And petrol was 4/9d a gallon . . four gallons and change for a quid.
However, quids were hard to come by.
Nowadays society worries about AIDS and Ebola . . Back then we had Polio.
Bob.
Polio and Rickets, the good old days...
10d for a big piece of cod and a 6 of chips
petrol was 5/2 a gallon when I got my first car. Bazooka Joe chewing gum...
