You can't remember Jubblies? The triangle shaped* drinks that were frozen and you sucked them till all the juice came out and then you ate the ice... cherry jubblies were the biz though, why every kid had ruby coloured lips .

Spangles

Spangles were cool.

No you're not getting this are you? Doctor Who had computers (though more importantly sonic screwdrivers) but even pocket calculators were high tech in this era .

i remember watching dixon of dock green on a saturday night waiting for my dad to pick me up on way home. after the football round up. always made me laugh - forfar - four east fife - five always said with a posh english accent.

i asked my daughter the other day to get me a packet of opal fruits. she looked at me blankely. when did they change to star burst - stupid name.

also remember penny dainties which were highland toffee chews wrapped in tartan paper at the cost of 1p. they filled your mouth and you spent next hour looking like a hamster (say nothing those who know me) you still get the toffee but its tiny now and costs 5p.

and talking of money who remembers those bloody half pennies. everything cost 99.5 p

There is a chippy in Middlesbrough that still uses real newspaper to wrap the chips in! I'm only 26 so only rember the spangles as they re-released them for a short period when I was 15, I loved fireball XL5 used to watch it with me grandad in the early 80's . Randal and Hopkirk deceased the vic and bob version was great why no more!!!!
