    or old snap

    years ago vestsa brought out chow mein, it was a game changer at the time. no one ate foreign food. There was no chilli ginger etc on sale. no colour tv. no fridge, kept milk in larder for a day. No internet, or phone for some.
    no choice of food, you get what was put on the table.
    Salad was sheeite, lettuce ham boiled egg radish, no dressing.
    Sunday roast was a mare. Beef well done.slices of gravy.
    Happy days.

    Crash you've brought the memories flooding back pal.

    Oh for a cold slab in the pantry where we kept our milk (two days max), cheese that's if mice din't help themselves to it.

    We were the first on our street to get a colour TV from Telebank. Suddenly our house was very popular.

    Yes you ate what was given and funnily enough don't recall any waste.

    Raddish, yuk I hated them as a kid and they use to burn mi gob out .

    Beef on a sunday, wow you were posh. it was either chicken, chicken or err chicken. Beef was for Xmas in our house.

    Use to love getting jacobs cream crackers, cheese spread, and a couple of silverskin onions.....mmmm.

    Bed time drink, an oxo in hot water with a slice o' bread. Heaven. Compared what we eat today I wonder how we all survived but we did somehow.

    I think mutton was the sunday dinner of the great unwashed, chicken didnt become cheap enough until well into the 70s
