    I'm actually an 80's child but not far off the 70's so we'll stick with that!
    Yes I do agree though, strange sandwich choice! :D

    I'm 70's and I love love love brown sauce sarnies, had to be on Scottish Pride (plain bread) if you don't get it South of the border, with loads of butter - oh I have a craving now. As for salad cream, my friends and I (aged about 12) were playing blindfolded tasting and I got a dessertspoon of salad cream - I have never been the same since, think it could be the cause of my spending habits actually...

    I'm sorry I just can't get my head round brown sauce sarnies...with bacon or a bit of scrambled egg fair enough but uggghhhh...how could you eat it plain??

    Speaking of scottish...can't beat square sausage sarnie with brown sauce...yum yum.

    Thanks Swinstie, although the stuff I've ticked off is the easier less time consuming stuff so not sure if I can complete it tomorrow....we will see.
