Come now Bernie, there are times, when a man needs to be alone ...... with a Pint. To reflect & ponder,replay & assimilate the direction of his life & the choices made, trust me it's a Bloke thing.

Not really, that is why we need these hallowed places, our Sanctuary, our Hermitage, plus they've got Sky Sport so you won't be battling over Footy or Miss Marples.

You seem to delight in belittling me - if you think back it was only a resdearch project that required me to visit the H & H, besides the place was pretty crap even though they had Lancaster Bomber on draught.

Perhaps just a touch of embellishment - Who the hell cares, we had such a marvellous time and we enjoyed every moment of it LoL to you all

At the time, Beech Nut was a favourite of ours(I say 'ours' because I shared it with my brothers)....we rarely got sweets of any description......and OK Beech Nut wasn't sweets as such...but it was sweet and it lasted a long time.......something which enhanced its popularity with all of us.
I actually liked Wrigleys spearmint much better but at the time it 2d a packed...twice the price of Beech Nut...with no chance of an extra pack if you were the 4th person to buy from the machine.

I rarely got sweets either ... think it had something to do with the sugar coupon (and being broke) ... ah, the wonderful days of rationing

Can't remember when sweets came off ration

Might have been as late as '56; but by that time I was stealing them anyway.

Still prefered beer tho'. Still do.

Stealing??? Ma would have had forty thousand pink fits in ten seconds......would've had the priest in to give the sermon on hell, purgatory and damnation(he was o-irish so he knew all about those things)....my brother took 2d from her purse one morning(there was only 8d in it and he thought she wouldn't miss the two big copper ones......dumb lads huh)........she took him by the ear and dragged him all the way along Nuttall Street.......still firmly held by the ear, down to the Police Station.......the bobbies(who were a different breed then) locked him in a cell for 30 minutes, just to teach him the error of his ways......he got no tea that night and was sent to bed with a rumbly belly.
Aaaaaah, the good old days!

Hell they be bringing in Cherie Blair these days Margaret

Yes, but in those days Jaysay adults took the lead and the children followed.......you did what you were told....or woe betide you.
Shame we can't put the clock back a few decades and let today's children have the same experiences.

Exactly Margaret thus my last post on this subject, the way we were brought up never never did us any harm and helped us on our way to adulthood, because of the namby pamby do gooders of today we now have situations we regularly read about and see on news programs, because kids aren't sent out on life's journey prepared in the right way anymore, yet these people still think that their methods work, give me the old fahioned ways any day

Ma dragging my brother down to the police station taught him that his actions had consequences 1) time spent in a cell....along with a very stern telling off from the sergeant.
2) going to bed without tea. Ma explained to him that by taking money from her purse, he was taking the food out of all of our mouths....and so for that he could go to bed hungry.....because he had made a bad choice.
