Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Derby Tup the best food in Eastwood was probably PizzaPaz* or the Hollies chippy**

* Sadly due to close as the building has been sold. Been making Eastwood's best pizza since I was at school.

** Even more sadly closed a few years back when the family sold up.

Basket meals in pubs! I worked in a pub in 1977 and we served some cracking bar meals ... triangles of fish and chips; ravioli (Heinz from tin with a dash of tobacco and black pepper); macaroni cheese (see ravioli above!) and chicken curry (rehydrated like Vesta!). They were very popular though ... I remember knocking out over 100 meals in one lunchtime when I was the only one in the kitchen (thank you microwave and deep fat fryer!) ... just wish I could remember how much we charged 🤔

I know a lot of people smoked in the 70s but that is a bit much!

Thing is, the tobacco was entirely believable (if repulsive).

I'd also have believed the tobacco. Weren't Skoal Bandits hitting the British market around that time?
