I'm feeling very old . . .

[Mammar]

Bored stiff...surfing the tv....came across a programme called "Valentine Warner eats the Sixties" - freeview channel 12 - and I can remember it all
He's up to Angel Delight now but it was the Dunkie doughnuts at the horrendous cost of 3d a pack that did it.
Oh no, Smash now.
Have I missed the Vesta curries?

[Mammar]

Oh wow! It's just come on! Looks just as bad as I remember

[Stephen_G]

It's on Yesterday, Sky channel 537 and there's also Yesterday +1 on 538.

Just turned over and he poured something onto a bed of rice - could have been the Vesta curry. Used to love their Chow Mein.

[commoner]

Funny you say Channel 12...thats what I am watching Top Gear on..(Dave)

Yesterday ..channel 19 is what you seem to be on.....They swapped channels recently ..how long since you did a retune?....mmm....

[Stephen_G]

Cor! Captiain Birdseye's Fish Fingers. Now I could just go for a Fish Finger butty!!!

[Mammar]

I shall do a retune then, Common, as my Dave's on 19!
However, as I live out in the sticks, I reckon they ration our channels so we don't get too edumacated.

[commoner]

I first noticed it when I saw there should be an ARGOS sales channel on Freeview 55..otherwise I was happy enough...when I retuned I got the channel 55 and Dave had swapped with Yesterday and a couple of other bits and pieces appeared too...
lol...when I saw your post I went off Top Gear and had a good laugh Eating the Sixties...Thanks..:-)..did make me feel a bit old...but well dammit I AM old :-))

[Mammar]

Well blow me down with a feather! I nearly watched Clarkson, God forbid.
I'm on to cheese fondues now.
(Thanks for that info, Common)

[nannybooby]

bet he hasnt had dried peas or beans buy batchelors. I loved the chow mein too must have been all those adittives

[commoner]

Fray Bentos Pies in a Bloomin' tin...they actually still sell 'em wish he'd mention them..more taste in the tin!

[Mammar]

He finished up with a dinner party of prawn cocktails, some dreadful crab in aspic thingy, chicken Kiev and a baked Alaska.
I have to say my baked Alaska was far superior as I used to use raspberry ripple and pipe my meringue on in posh peaks!

[commoner]

Black Forest Gateau "a little cream sir?" was the standard end to a dinner party in my day....nice!..then coffee cheese and bicuits..and a large Cognac of course! He he! Didn't we lap it up!

[Mammar]

Oh and he had a bottle of Babycham. My old Mum used to love one of those. I think it's still made but I had forgotten it.

[commoner]

lol..wonder he didn't serve the dreaded "Blue Nun"...German sort of Leibfauchmilch or something it was.or the 'orrible red fizzy Lambrusco..Ugh!

Lol..real social climbers we were:-)

[commoner]

We still have some Babycham glasses in our "cabinet" side by side with two small botles (unopened)..Jeez must be over 50 years old !!!

[petal54]

artic rool's made a come back,chicken in a basket anyone?

[Mammar]

He did have a bottle of Mateus Rose in the bulgy bottle! Such s trend setter.
What other foods can you remember?
I remember a chic bar which I think was called Bar Six or something and one called Picnic. I'm going to have to google it now

[Mammar]

I mean "choc" bar, of course

[anneasquith]

soup in a basket was nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
