I used to like the yellow sherbert tubs with the licquorice straw sticking out, and those little sherbert sweets with messages on. Any I remember eating them and being very thin. I've put of several pounds now just hinking about them.

When the only type of pasta you could buy was very long wapped in blue paper and the only place you could get olive oil was in the chemist :)

Welcome to A4A Earthmother... Could anybody open a party 7 without getting a beer shampoo? :-\

I once saw an unopened Party 7 left on a doorstep with the empty milk bottles and the milkman left it there! It went from party to party unopened for ages, and even when raffled it got 'left behind by accident'. Was it really such an awful beer?

Yuk Party Sevens always the last to go, impossible to open and tasted dire. We always seemed to find one stashed in the oven for some reason

Didn't courage or whitbread have an equivalent?

The smell of plastic macs when you went into Woolies, and the sawdust on the floor.

And those machines at Railway stations that punched out letters on a metal strip.

Vesta curries - now they were the height of sophistication - you were definitely cool when you had those ;D

shirlton · « **Reply #116 on:** August 23, 2009, 09:00:41 »

We met a chap from Doncaster whilst on holiday in Tunisia and he used to deliver the Vesta stuff loose in a big container. He told us that the stuff used to rot the drums. I used to love the Paella. No wonder Ive got a bad gut
