Heres a few things I remember.

National Health orange called spring. It came in powder form in a big tin. From what I remember it tasted a little like fanta.

I remember the cresta bear, he gave me a nightmare which I can still remember! As for traffic light lollies, one of those knocked a tooth out. I was distraught, the tooth went down a drain and I cried 'cos the tooth fairy wouldn't leave me sixpence!

Bovril sarnies, sugar sarnies, dripping on toast. Taking the footie results for my dad. Dickie Davies.

Gummi bears 6 for 1p, Frys peppermint cream, potato puffs and a big bag of chips and a big pickled onion for 10p on the way home from swimming.

Ham and cheese toast toppers. What the hell were they all about?

I bought a Vesta beef curry for a friend the other day, can't believe they still make them! My mum used to cook them for my dad. Sure he didn't appreciate them 'cos he worked in the docks and used to get proper curry off the boats from India!

Oh Janet
I loved the Vesta Curry and Rice. I remember them coming out in the early 60s just after I got married. Sadly you can't buy them here in Australia.
I think I ilked them because I don't like really hot curry and they were just right.

I might go to the English Shop we have here see if he can get them for me.

Ohhhhhhh I really fancy one now.
