Yeah remember them
Also remember collecting the Esso World Cup Coins in 1970, thought they were great.
i miss the collectors cards they used to put in PG tips t bags, what happened to them?
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!

This isn't really a 'miss' but definitely a very strong memory. How many remember helping their Mums or Nans do the washing in an old boiler, scrubbing it on the wash board and then putting it through the mangle. Washing was put out all weathers and goodness knows how it stayed so sparkly white with all the fog and smog. Oh and the smell of that boiled washing was divine. Never seen whites as clean since. Lovely
Having said all that, thank God for automatic washing machines Lol.
@Robinredbreast you had carpet??? you wuz practically royalty, i bet you had an inside toilet too with a wooden seat. all we had was hay on the floor and an outside shed with a hole and we shared that shed with the whole street and newspaper for toilet roll if we wuz lucky. those were the days.
