Definitely the one side burnt crispy pancakes!! Minced beef.

Also dandelion and burdock from the Alpine van (every Friday). if we were good (and dad had some money) we also were treated to a bottle of cream soda and a mars bar.

Sasparella and root beer too. Those were the days when cloudy lemonade was posh.

The alpine van, I'd forgotten about that. Massive thick glass bottles of 'crap pop'.

We get the Rag and Bone van here every couple of weeks, complete with loud hailer annoucing their arrival.

Area too posh for Rag and Bone men but last time I stuck a unwanted large metal domestic appliance a truck full of scrap suddenly appeared and asked if they could collect for me. I happily obliged rather than pay to dispose of it....

I see the bottles outside the odd house here and there in Durham. We also get rag'n'bone men prowling the streets reasonably regularly in the NE.

I saw someone selling Rio pop the other day, that was a blast from the past.

Ah but can you still get the Ian Allan Combined Volume of British Diesel and Electric Locomotives and Multiple Units?

Dunno, are you mine?

Maybe? Did you enjoy torturing little brothers?

[mudskipper]

My mother always did that as well. Hang on, are you my sister?

My mother always used to hide the burnt side at the bottom and hope we wouldn't notice.

Arctic Rolls still exist - Ocado sell them.

Viennetta is also still around.

My wife's been obsessing over Bar Six chocolate and I'd so hoped to see it was available on Amazon but it's nowhere to be found.

Edit: doh wrong thread
