I'm sorry... but Black puddings were mined in Bury... :P
Cod liver oil and malt..loved that and Horlicks tablets for a treat after we stood in the corridor in our knickers and vest waiting tio see the school doctor, I hated that and I am certain they were all child molesters!!If not why did they all pull our knicker elastic forward and look down. My mother had to bribe me with the Horlicks tablets to go to school that day.XX Jeannine
Broken biscuits. A real bargain, I always used to dream of having the real thing out of all the glass covered biscuit display tins that were lined up in front of the counter, but broken ones were all we could afford. Lovely old corner shops that did a sale or return on a box of Izal (slip and slide) in case you had relatives visiting.
Oh, yes, I remember Mum always reheated Dad's evening meal on a plate, over a saucepan, covered with an enamel plate. Microwave ovens - what on earth are they?I remember in the 50s going into J Sainsburys in St Albans High St, a small single shop unit, and queueing one side to be served eg butter, then going to the other side for cereal, etc. What a lot of time we now save by going to the supermarket and only queueing once LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
;D @ Lillian blue bum
I certainly remember Sainsbury's that''s where we bought the jellied veal. You had to queue up at each counter separately. One for cheese, one for cooked meats, one for eggs and there were several more it took ages. It was basically a deli but we certainly did not call it that.
