Cor .. Yum! We have English sweet shops here and they have the Walkers toffees but no banana split. Have to make do with the Treacle or Walnut. Well ... used to :-(
I was so terrified of the coalman I used to run down the back garden and hide ... must have been his black face!Bubble gum machines outside the sweet shops with cheap plastic gifts if you were lucky. I got engaged to a boy with a ring out of one of those machines. We were 10 I think.
Mum had a small notebook in which she wrote out her weekly order of groceries, dropped it off at the corner shop to be delivered the next day. The fish man came every Friday with his fresh fish in his van, green groceries came by cart (hand pulled), the pop man of course, dog meat man in a van (raw meat), coal man, rag and bone man and his horse, milk man, and others.

WAKEY WAAAAAKEEEY !
The Black & White Minstrels, The Clitheroe Kid,
and TV Bill and Ben, Andy Pandy, Sooty, Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, then a bit later Bilko and later still M.A.S.H.
The very first TV programme I watched was our Queen's Coronation, which I bet was the same for many of us old enough. We saw it at my Nana's house with a load of other people. In the ginnel at the back of the terrace of houses the neighbours erected loads of trestle tables and chairs, all decorated with Union Jacks and red, white and blue buntings and balloons. It was a Jacob's Join, and all the kids from the neighbourhood were invited. I still have a photo of it, with me sitting there scoffing. Not long after we got our own TV set. A 9" Bush in a cabinet.
Crazy how that stuff sticks in your head innit!
Oh yes I forgot about Popeye.
