Crikey Flay, what sort of childhood did you have?

My childhood favourite was a strawberry Mivvie!

Oh Yes! Yummy. And what about Flying Saucers, they were weird. And whatever happened to Mr. Whippy? Oh dear, I now have a craving for one of them with a 99

And what about Flying Saucers, they were weird.

Yukkkk - like almost entirely tasteless cardboard, and full of air

And whatever happened to Mr. Whippy? Oh dear, I now have a craving for one of them with a 99

He was giving evidence to the Leveson Enquiry last Thursday afternoon....



Sorry, couldn't resist.

(Re: 99s - I used to push the chocolate gently down the handle of the cone - after the pleasure of the main ice cream licking, one is left with a lovely combo of wafer, chocolate flake and all the ice cream that has melted and run down the inside of the handle around the chocolate. YUM. Allow me to join you in the craving stakes!!!!)

Ladies' corsets ...

They made a comeback, must be all of 15 years ago, SHB

Feminism? What's that? Never heard of such a thing.

[Stillhomewardbound]

Nah ... not the real McCoy ... flesh toned, dangling bits, gussetts etc!!
