What do you miss from the 'Olden Days'?

The great Dad's army

The excitement of going on a school excursion .... not so much the destination but I always got a packet of crisps and a McVities Chocolate Digestive in my lunch box! The one with the blue wrapper ... can you still buy them in UK? So many interesting places to visit in England .... and going up to London to see David Essex in Godspell. I never liked school but it wasn't all bad I guess

Morecambe and Wise at their best, with 'Andrew Preview'

The only trip I can remember going on was a trip to Earls Court to some sort of secretarial exhibition and there was a woman who was the fasted typist. The only reason I remember the trip was there was a car following the coach with Peter Frampton (The Herd) in the passenger seat. Cue a coachload of screaming schoolgirls rushing to the back of the coach to catch a glimpse

Oh Yes. I'd forgotten about the toys in cereals.............and the fights with my sister over who would have them

Any one remember the height of sophistication that was a Vesta beef curry or chow mein. I've occasionally seen the beef curry in one of the pound shops. Strangely I've not been tempted to buy one

I remember my Mum used to love the Beef Risotto ... personally never saw what the attraction was

Anyone remember the Jamboree bags? A bag of rubbish sweets with a rubbish toy thrown in! Can see them now, next to the Pink Shrimps and Flying Saucers, in front of @jackthelad60's Black Jacks and Fruit Salads which was next to the Parma Violets. They were the days, I used to get my "Saturday sixpence" and rush over to the corner shop. Sometimes bought sweets or sometimes a new drawing book. Amazing how far sixpence went in those days!

 

[Robinredbreast]

God, that's a real blast to the past! When I was about 16 (long time ago) I loved the Vesta Chow Mein, mum called it rubbish and she was probably right

Actually, that I'm pretty sure was my first 'curry' in the early 1970's, on a Saturday my mum would cook this and we would have it when I came home from my Saturday job at the kennels, happy day's I remember the Beef Curry more than the others.

Sixpence, 2 1/2 pence wasn't it, I still have some old coins, one is a farthing, but my dad gave it to me lol not actually used one myself lol
