Salt n Shake are back on the shelves.

Potato puffs came in lamb n mint sauce flavour, they were yummy.

Anyone remember Smacks they were a savoury tiny biscuits, and when you ate them, they stuck to the roof of your mouth. Chicken was my fav.

My fav old time programme was Joe 90!

Yes DD I do. I also remember sweets being sold from those big jars. They used to be weighed by the 1/4lb.

I still have some of those Jars. My grandparents owned a little shop and I was the only kid in the whole of the UK who managed to buy a bottle of pop & a bag of sweets for 10p!
Can anyone remember the 5p mixups that you'd get in a cone with the little gummy bears that were 2 for a penny? And despite what everyone keeps telling me, I am convinced Wagon Wheels really have shrunk!
And if you're really ancient, then you might remember the milk bottles with a marble in the neck? :P
