    Sour cream and chives all the way for me. I like licking them before I actually eat them :o (both sides)

    They were too for me until I got blind drunk one night, are a whole tube and boaked them all up again!! Taste stayed in my mouth for days......I've never been able to forget..... _pale__pale__pale__pale__pale_

    I too get bemused by the 'freezing' posts. Wen I were a lass :D (well in my early 20s) it was so cold the toilet froze and we had to have a calor gas fire under the loft hatch to stop the tank from freezing. And......I survived :eek: Never even got a medal either :(:p :rotfl:

    Me too.....we used to have ice on the inside of the windows!! :eek:

    And frost on the inside of the windows. And waking up with ice crystals on the bedclothes from where your breath had frozen during the night. I survived too:)
    But it sounds like you had an inside toilet, FC ... luxury, I call it:rotfl:

    I remember my gran getting an automatic washing machine. To me the big glass door looked just like those big blow driers in the hairdressers when she used to go for her shampoo and set. I sat on the floor with my back to it and put my head in the big glass door :o:D :rotfl::rotfl:

    I remember this. When we went to bed, you shivered for ages and could not move as 1) mum had tucked us in so tight 2) the weight of the blankets stopped us moving

    Thank god times have changed
