330cl? Bloody hell! I'd need both hands just to lift the thing.
Parma Violets ........... yukkity yuk
That has just brought back a memory. As a little girl I remember my friend brought me back a gift from her holiday. It was a little bottle of perfume with a pixie on the top. The perfume smelled just like parma violets tasted....... if you know what I mean!!!
(Wilma wanders out thinking, why is it that you can smell the taste of something or taste the smell of something? ) :? :? :? :?

Who remembers....
Aztec bars.
Cadbury's Extra.
Media interviews with well-known people when they DIDN'T have a new book, film, or series to plug.
When supermarket goods all had price labels stuck on.
The days when cyclists used the roads.
The days when radio and TV presenters weren't all trying to be comedians.
Mike.

Parma Violets
I thought I was the only person that liked those - literally everybody else I know dismisses them on grounds of colour, smell AND taste !
Oh, and while I'm here - Pacers, the stripey chewy mints ?

Hey, mr FC, Lucky Bags!! I remember them when they had the picture of Baden Powell-at least I think it was him-on the bag. But why did I always get the 'unlucky' bag with the broken toy and crap sweets.
I also remember buying loose salted peanuts from Woolworths when they first came out. My Gran used to say I'd get constipated (which , Lord bless her, she also thought was caused by too much bread, sitting on a cold wall, eating sweets and failing to drink a bottle of Mackeson every day).
My favourite was the 'sweet tobacco'-just dessicated coconut really. Got put off it a bit when I tried smoking it in the little pipes we used to make from hollowed out acorns and a piece of wheat straw... :mrgreen:

Silly little orange armbands so the traffic could spot you running after the mobile shop to buy a luckybag.. Actually they were supposed to stop you getting squashed walking to school when someone decided not to move the clocks back 1 hour from BST to GMT in the name of european harmony IIRC

Cough Candies.... found many of them stuck to the pocket of my coat covered in the white paper bag.
Rainbow drops....... bags of coloured puffed rice.
I also remember the rag and bone man and his horse...... he used to call up the street "any, any, any ole iron"
Another frequent visitor to our door was the man from the Pru. Still have not got the courage to ask my mum why he visited so frequently.
This thread has taken me right back..and I'm not THAT old.

Alf Tupper - The tough of the track. He used to stay up all night welding, have fish and chips for breakfast (shared with his dog) then go and win an international cross-country race, despite some Baddy causing him to make a five mile detour.

Billy the Cat. Used to wear a black crash helmet and wave what looked like an electrical cable, complete with plug, around his head. :shock:

They are still around - but I have never lost my taste for Farleys Rusks. I am sooo looking forward to grandchildren so I can buy them again!
The War Lords....anyone else remember this or am I having a senior moment.Not this time Wilma, it was the War Lords. My favourite story was the one about the bloke who had an amulate which gave him eternal life. It didn't save him from harm physical harm though, just kept him alive. (origins of "death becomes you?)
