Working class people food. Hardly a culinary masterpiece.  

I can honestly say I've never, nor will I ever, eaten crisps or French fries in a sandwich.  

 

And obviously no sense of humour. Or a working class person..............aka a snob.

Did you ever try a chip butty? With salt & Sarsons Malt vinegar.

IZAL toilet paper the worst in the world.

Nasty business, way to hard, sandpaper would have worked better.  most uk schools used it. 

 

 

My school had a mock election and I headed the NUTS (National Union of Teenage Socialists). I campaigned to get rid of that toilet paper, but l came second out of two so gave up politics.

I was a member of a school debating club we called the Kooth and Kulture Klub. We had pink T shirts printed with the team initials on it.

Unfortunately too many of them bring back memories, but hey look on the bright side... 

at least I've still got my memory.

[Bangkok Barry]

I liked Victory V's. Probably still would. Perhaps. Maybe. Or maybe not. And I used to roll fags for my dad using tins of Golden Virginia. Hundreds of them. He died of lung cancer so perhaps I helped kill him.

With a bit of Marmite...........mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Marmite, your were spoilt, I had to rub a knob of coal on dry bread and pretend it tasted the same.

[allanos]

Toilet paper, Izal or any other, was a luxury - only for the elites.

 

For as long as I can remember as a small boy in post-WWII Britain,

we used newspaper - torn into appropriate-size squares.

 

I ask myself, "where have all the good times gone?"

[eddiesdad]

Tin bath on the back of the kitchen door.  Friday night - water boiled in a kettle on the fire.  Add cold water from the tap. 3 inches of water, hardly enough to get past your ankles. Father first then mother. My brother and I last !   Still remember one time my brother taking a dump in the bath 555 ! He must have been about 1 year old at the time, I was 3.

I am surprised that they have pictures of all those things.

It seems photography was already invented at that time. ????

In 1974 my band and I went to Norway for the first time and this song, Forever & Ever, was top there. I 5hagged my first Nog to this song. Ahhhh what memories.

Perry Como had a hit with that song back in the Fifties. ????????????

Steady on, my first camera looked like that. Bought it at a jumble sale for 1/- and used it for several years. And I'm only 65!

 

In fact, I remember all of them. Loathed sterilised milk!

Ok, let me understand this right. So, when did the instruction manual for making soft tissue paper reach Britain? But before that, you were all happy wiping it off with something resembling the feeling of a cement bag on sensible skin? Have I got it all there? ???? ????

[roo860]

Another classic gastronomic delight, av it!

IZAL toilet paper , I found the best way to use it was to rustle it in your hands to make it softer but at my granddads house he always had torn up daily mirror in the outhouse loo secured on a 6 inch nail . Colour white Y fronts were the popular male underwear that would show up inevitable skid marks . Then along came Andrex loo paper , thank god .
