[QUOTE="rochari, post: 469018, member: 68255"] Thanks folks, great memories. I too remember the wee trays of stainless steel needles handed over with the warning that each should last around 10 days or so. Yup and the Everett glass syringes. Do you remember there were two different types of syringe nozzles in those days? I think one was Record and the other Luer. My mother’s was the former and I'd the Luer syringe which had a slightly wider nozzle. There was also the instrument of torture, the Palmer Injector Gun. My much older brother bought me one as a Christmas present and it scared the heck out of me. I was never able to pull that trigger. Some other things I remember from all those years ago.. the diabetic custard creams and the wee round diabetic fruit cake sealed inside a tin. My favourite though was the dark diabetic chocolate bars made by Cadbury. Much more bitter than Bournville but I loved them. Bill [/QUOTE]
