A Pint Of Peas

[MrsLadyBug]

Does anyone else out there remember back to 50's i think when frozen peas became available. Not having a freezer I remember being sent to the butchers with a jug to get a pint of peas!
Am I imagining it? My lot think I am going senile

Anyone remember 'Home & Colonial' Another shop name from the past ? I think that Home & Colonial may have changed its name to Fine Fare, when the 'Colonial' bit became non PC.

[Jackdaw33]

I remember it well. Also Walter Wilson's and the London and Newcastle tea company.

And Timothy Whites, I think Boots bought them out.

Tonyav, Yes Timothy Whites merged with Boots

Chap goes into Timothy Whites:

"Have you got any chamber pots?"
"Sorry, no. Have you tried Boots?"
" Yes, but it keeps leaking through the lace holes."

As children it was our job to wash the peapods, then shell the peas and mum used to make soup with the pods.

I remember taking a pint pot to get black peas rom a man who used to travel around on a pedal bike with a sort of container attached and the peas were hot.
