[suna]

a friend Lenny would like to ask: dose anyone remember the good old days: were you used to play snakes and ladders watch tin tin watch Bil and Ben Andy Pandy the old gray itchy blankets the old green soap for shirt collars and Rupert the bear and shoveling the snow off the path for the OAP'S for a few bob.

Yes.
And there was Izal toilet paper, Rag Tag & Bobtail, the Woodentops, ice on the inside of your bedroom window, the penny tray in sweet shops etc etc.

[mrs_overall]

Ta dris.
All I can say in my defence is that I've had a very long day.....

[sweetpea...!]

anyway you must have been one of those posh kids Mrs O with your penny sweets - we had 2 Fruit Salads or Black Jacks for a ha'penny!

[mrs_overall]

Oi sweetpea, who are you calling posh?

The penny tray had loads of sweets that were 4 for a penny (like blackjacks, fruit salad etc) but I could never afford them cos we were dirt poor.

stomps off in disgust to open another bottle of Bolinger
