    The pieces were long rectangles, individually wrapped in foil, and scored across the middle - you could suck a piece sideways until your tongue broke it at the score line, then you had a remaining thin bit in each cheek. Well, that's what I used to do, anyway...

      was quite good, parabens and something else free, and available in poundland.

      now unavailable anywhere.
      I've always bought Head & Shoulders, TS. There again, the one "for greasy hair" is no longer available - perhaps they got complaints about blocked drains!

            Liquorice for as little as 74p per 100g? That'll give you a good run for your money.

                    Yeth he thertainly doth
                    "...the isle is full of noises,
                    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                        Green Shield Stamps.

                        75 full books, and you could have a nice trip out to the shop in East Street and claim a toaster.

                        oh yes, and Lord Toffinghams.

                        Lovely.

                        Bring back Lord Toffingham Ice cream. 788 likes. The best ice cream I remember from my childhood, I lovely combination of caramel icecream, dipped in chocolate and with a gorgeous toffee center.
                        I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                        I am not a number, I am a free man.

                          This was the toothpaste we had - lids came in different colours which was exciting
                          [This tin for sale on ebay):

                          It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
