Bob - Savoury Ducks are Faggots

Tec :-)

Anytime Bars. They were about in the 1970s when I was at school. They were pepmint flavored type honeycomb on th inside and chocolate on the outside,


Yummmy :-D

Rice Cremola. . (and I also would like to know what savoury ducks are). Bob

You can get Bournvita online :-D

I miss the enthusiasm and 's*d it' attitude of my youth. :-(
But am determined to rekindle it as a 'S*d it' attitude of a bolshy old bag :-D

You can't get sago at all now. What the Asian retailers sell as pearl sago is really tapioca.

Minstrels in their previous incarnation, (were they called Treats?) came in three different styles.

There were the chocolate ones, better were the peanut ones and totally blissful were the caramel ones! Wouldn't say no to a packet of those again!

Bournvita. Can you still get that?

i miss a product called Clean-o-pine it was far better than flash,lemon scent was best,it used to clean the pidgeon droppings off the car brilliantly,with no damage to paintwork.it didnt leave a sticky residue on floors either.cant remenber who made it.

Keks with proper elastic that when it snaped mum threaded a new piece though on a small safety pin,,,,,, ;-) :-D :-D.

perfumes - Evening in Paris and Californian Poppy

Sweetheart dessert, in a can made by Nestle I think, fruit flavoured. Loved it ! :-)

Huntley and Palmer's breakfast biscuits. They were square, with rounded corners, and crispy.

Also what we called Boracic Ointment. Actually ointment of boric acid - looked like lip salve, but was brilliant for chapped lips.

very often sold in Kardomah cafes

That's spooky - I was just thinking of Kunzle cakes - weren't they called Showboats? Yummy - sweet and sickly maybe but a bit posh for a special occasion.
