We were only talking about mink cracknel at work last week and remembering how the little shards of mint could lacerate your tongue - probably why it doesn't exisit anymore!!!

CKLD - that little green-faced smily is the very chap I was thinking of - thank you!!

We used to play with a "superball"..a small ball the size of a table tennis ball but when you bounced it it took off skyhigh!

My brother pinched my superball.  Then he bounced it so hard it split in two and went off in 2 directions.  My mum made him buy me a new one, which I wouldn't  let him have!  I seem to remember he pinched my yo-yo too.  So another of those had to be bought too.  I hasten to add he was about 20 at the time!!!!

Don't remember the Dolly Darlings, but then I was 11/12 so probably too old.

Sindy was my doll at age 7, saved all my pennies to get her.  29/11 she cost me.



Mine was the one on the right with auburn hair.

Love home made rice pud, especially with the skin on top, thats the best part, I still make it now and again, SuziQ but not very often!

Used to like Bar 6 but that might still be available not sure..and Zing biscuits, I liked those cos there were two biscuits in them and my mum could only eat one, so I got the other half, as well as my own....billy bunter or what?!!
