Maybe you could melt some caramac and coat a digestive in it ... it would be a shame for you to have missed out on the Caramac Digestive experience altogether! :)

We have a sugar terrorist in our midst!
 
Do you reckon it's funny that things that were funny in the past aren't funny now? Imagine watching Larry Grayson (shut that door) or **** Emery (oh you are awful, but I like you!) on telly now, bet we'd find it really lame.

Going off on a completely diffferent random tangent though, I used to like those little Hovis brown loaves ... in fact, I could eat one right now ... warmed up in the oven and smothered in butter with a touch of marmite. That'd do me!

But there were some who can never be bettered, Morecambe and Wise, Tommy Cooper, The Two Ronnies, always hilarious and still sadly missed :cool:
 
Oh no I've just remembered penny loaves .They were shaped like ordinary loaves be small and we used to buy one on the way home from school and they were still warm from the oven I can smell them now .Who started this !!!It's torture :nailbiting:

That's a strange coincidence, as the last couple of days each time I have looked at the TV someone has been sucking a lolly and I have had a craving for those too. Lucky I don't live in your town Lesley 'and I mean that most sincerely folks'. Oh crikey, now who used to say that? I can hear it as clear as a bell in my head but can't put a face to it. Lucky this is a thread for we older (cough cough) folk, hopefully someone will know. :D

Hughie Green. Never did like him, he seemed so smarmy and oily. Last year we had an old fashioned sweet shop open up on the way to our cafe, but luckily it closed after about 6 months. It was just outside the centre and relied on footfall to & from the the station. Unfortunately it has opened up again right opposite the cafe. some people are so un feeling! ;)

Love the two Ronnies and Tommy Cooper ... never quite 'got' Morcombe and Wise, though my parents were great fans. Remember that show Up Pompei with Frankie Howard? That was quite funny. 'The Prologue.....'
 
Tommy Cooper was one of those people who just had to turn up stand there look around and people were laughing.
He was a one off.
