Re: i remember when.....
Does anyone remember the 'Pendletons Twicer'......as the rhyme said....what could be nicer than a Pendletons Twicer? ......ice cream with a lolly each end.
After Birtwells, they were my favourites.
I also remember being sent along Nuttall St by my dad to get some Bile Beans...... they were something like 10 for a penny and the lady who owned the shop gave them to me in a little twist of paper. On the way home I decided to try one of these little round tablets.......I put it into my mouth and sucked the sugar off and got to the medicinal bit which tasted VILE.....so I spit it out. When I got back home my dad counted the Vile bile beans and made me go back and tell the lady in the shop she had given me one to little. She was not impressed and although she gave me another one she let me know she thought I had taken one. Bile beans were always Vile beans after that episode.......and i avoided going into that shop for ever after that.
