bournevita - my favourite bedtime drink.

Oh yes - Symington’s maple and walnut table cream!

My paternal grandfather used to produce Callard and Bowser butterscotch sweets from his inside jacket pocket! I hardly remember him as he died when I was only about 5.

And I loved Barmouth biscuits too - a bit like langue du chat.

What about Batger’s Chinese Figs????

Sunday closing,department stores, proper mail order catalogues to browse instead of images online, hand written letters( but there's nothing to stop us continuing to do that).

Fullers walnut cake with the American frosting.

Callard and Bowser's cream line toffees

My husband dreadfully missed plain Bounty bars.

I miss would love to go back to the food and petrol prices we had a few years ago!
