Re: i remember when.....
We once went to a party and he dissapeared. He was found under a bed fast asleep and I had to practically drag him home and some how drag him up a flight of stairs.
He remembered nothing the next day.

Re: i remember when.....
Loved those yellow licorice sticks, they lasted forever. Used to like chewing them as a kid, til they were soggy, then letting them dry up to chew again later :-[ Used to get shouted at off my mum for leaving them all over the house.
Loved blackjacks, fruit salads (and still do)
Bazooka Joe bubble gum, Ice cream screwballs with the chewing gum in the bottom :P
Anyone try hedgehog flavour crisps made by XL in Great Harwood (my mum worked there) They were vile but my sister loved em.
Space dust 80's kids like myself will remember this, it was horrible. [smiley=puke.gif]

Re: i remember when.....
Do you remember something called "Calfresh" ANNE?. Used to get it in a tin and was supposed to be full of vitamins. You used a couple of spoonfuls to make a drink. That was back in the early sixties. Tasted a bit like fruit flavoured Andrews!
;D

Re: i remember when.....
I used to give them my eldest daughter when she was teething.
Do you remember a sedative for teething infants. Brilliant! ! stuff called phenergan. Think you can still get it but not has strong. Nurse harveys. Not allowed to give them that any more. Used to catch Mick swigging it from the bottle. He used to pinch her choccy puddin and her rusks too.
One spoon for her and 6 for him. He was only testing it mind.
