What's all the sweet talk, whispers and hugs?
Wanting the sweet that everyone loves...Birds Instant Whip.

Run along to your sweet shop and say Dudley sent you.

My cousin Jane got married,
I had to wear a tie.
I didn't like the meal we had,
And I will tell you why.
We didn't have Heinz beans at all,
I wish I hadn't come.
If that's what getting married means,
I think I'll stay with Mum.
We had Heinz beans for tea though.

Dear Mr Harry

Hello

Hope you are okay.


How about a "thank you"? :-S
Customer service is sometimes lacking these days and vice versa.

(Perhaps I'm just being grumpy!)


Take gentle care
Best wishes
Elizabeth, EOS

For complete satisfaction, Newcastle Brown Ale!

Yep, been gardening Elizabeth - and watching the cricket and rugby. (it's hard being a pensioner)

So many replies and memories. Many thanks to you all for the interest. Some real memory joggers there.

How many rail passengers thought they had arrived at 'Bovril'.

Best wishes Happy days

Do you find yourselves still saying to the children "pull the chain" even though there isn't one.

Or referring to the wing mirrors, which are no longer on the wings of the car.

If you hear a noise with your milk and your roll,
It must be the ten-thirty Humphrey patrol.
Slippers with pom-poms for creeping about.
Look out, look out, look out, look out,
There's a Humphrey about!
