I tried the Burtons Fish & Chips crisps from asda and although they were nice they are not as I remember.


My nan used to make "milk jelly" which I usually had a few times a month when my tonsilitus was bad. It was basically jelly mixed with evaporated milk but my god it was lovely (now I might have to go and make some now!).

I used to love Burton's Potato Puffs.

I still make milk jellies - lime made up with half water & half coconut milk is lovely - got that from my aunt

Not something I actually want for myself (though I might be tempted to feed it to Mr LW if he's in the doghouse ) but something I haven't seen in years is Kennomeat dog food. My grandmother's Old English Sheepdog, Crackers, used to eat this; the cats, Whiskers and Ming, used to get the feline equivalent, Kattomeat.

Do you remember if you bought a light bulb in Woollies they always tested it first before selling it to you?

I'd forgotten they used to do this!

Chicken in a basket crisps, those chocolate milkshake a in a polystyrene box with straw from M&S, those frozen chocolate desserts with a blob of cream on top called "lovely" - I think they were made by Birdseye?

Fishmongers with all sorts of dead sea creatures arranged on enormous blocks of ice an trimmed with big bunches of parsley. When I was 6 or so I remember being fascinated by the bright shiny round eyes on the herrings. Granddad lived with us and he bought herrings for his supper - when he was frying them the smell stunk the whole house out !

They were one of my favourite things, I think you could get milk and plain chocolate ones.
